Does anyone know if this card will work in an A1200??
-
It will if it has a prism2 chipset.
Just check the specifications of your card.
-
It uses the Prism 2.5 chip set....Am I good to go with this card???
Thanks for your help.

From the guide of the prism2.device:
"The table below shows compatibility information for prism2.device with a
variety of wireless cards. For cards not listed below, see Absolute Value
System's directory of wireless chipsets at
http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz
If a card's chipset is listed at the AVS site as Orinoco, Agere or Prism
(except the SSF version) and its bus type is PCMCIA or PCI, it is likely to
work. Note that a few otherwise-compatible PCMCIA cards are 3.3V-only and
therefore incompatible with the A1200/A600. If the card is listed there but
doesn't match these requirements, it will definitely not work."
Yours is in the list so i believe it should be ok.

I am rediscovering the Amiga and recently got an A1200 and I would love to get on the internet with this computer. I also got a GVP 1230+ Turbo, but it didn't come with any software....any ideas?

I'm using a Prism2 wifi card no problem on my A1200 w/ GVP030 and no issues!
-
Well do not forget that a potential BIG issue is the lack of security of the WEP encryption protocol, as this driver can not handle WPA.
-
Just turn on MAC filtering so that only clients that you predefine can connect to the WiFi are allowed.

Is it possible to run Wifi on Pegasos II/OS4? I have card, but as I read Prism driver doesn't support Pegasos... Is there any version of Prism that can work with Peg?
