Plonked down my 72 sheqels and received my WPA-enabled prism2.device.
See here. (http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=57885)
I'm using a NetGear MA401, Miami 3.2, AmigaOS 3.9BB2 on an A1200 with Blizzard 1260 50MHz 68060, 192MB, with the 1230 SCSI module. Upgraded the firmware in the MA401 using a Windows XP machine. I believe I am having some problems with my hardware which has been causing me some random crashes, but once online these are my results.
Network encryption: WPA2-CCMP(AES)
Browser: A-Web 3.4SE
FDH0 is a 4GB CF card on native mobo IDE
CPU usage measured with SCSI Bench
256 color Workbench, A-Web on its own 256 color screen
Downloading 104MB file from AmiNet to,
FDH0: 22~23kcps, 100% CPU*
RAM: 33~37kcps, 85~100% CPU*
* I remembered while I was typing this that I was also running WBClock at the same time, which has its own minimal performance hit.
My little machine is no speed demon on WPA2, but it's a damn sight better than running my network with WEP. And it's usable. I'm very pleased.
Thought this might be interesting to those contemplating buying. I blind-sided Neil with my PayPal purchase. He will need your MAC address and system CPU information.

Nice! I wasn't aware there is WPA support for the Amga now. Shame it uses the network card as a dongle, but fair enough.
