Best PCMCIA network card for A1200?

[mingle]

Hi Guys,

Sorry for all the questions, but since I'm getting my new A1200 soon, I want to get all of the hardware ready for it!

I'm planning on an internal CF card to replace the 2.5" HDD and a PCMCIA adaptor + CF card for file-transfers from my PC...

I'd also like to be able to connect my A1200 to the internet, so I'll obviously need an Ethernet card. I reckon PCMCIA is the way to go, but what brand/model will work with my A1200?

I have a cable modem connected to a router (wireless), which I then connect my PC to. I have the option of either going wireless or direct cat5 cable - whichever is easiest really...

Also, what software will I need to get it all connected? Are there any good, free TCP stacks and network drivers?

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi,

I can get an SMC wireless card for pretty cheap and it appears to be supported by the cnet driver.

Is there any downside in using wireless rather than wired ethernet?

Cheers,

Mike.

My router is set up for WEP (very short-range wireless anyway) and I believe the cnet device supports WEP, so I should be right...

Hi ncafferkey,

Are you the author of the prism.device?

If so are you able to confirm that the SMC2632W wireless card works with prism on an A1200?

Cheers,

Mike.
