Wireless key too long?
« on: November 22, 2017, 05:37:07 PM »
When I boot my X1000 into OS4.1FE1, I now see an AmigaDOS error message: "bad number".
This only happened since I upgraded my broadband router so that my wifi password now contains 12 characters instead of the previous 10. (I am using the flashed Prism2 driver).
Is the AmigaDOS error message related to the longer wifi password?
In order to boot without seeing the error, I have stopped using wifi and am using an Ethernet connection but I would like to switch back to wifi.
Does anyone know what is causing the error message to appear?

@kolla: Well, I had being using wifi without problem on my X1000 for five or six years until the change of router. In fact, my understanding is that it is the X1000 ethernet which isn't fully functional, although this may have changed since I last checked.
In any event, does anyone know how to get wifi working again .....

Thanks to Neil Cafferkey (author of Prism2 driver) I've now got wifi on my X1000 working again - I hadn't realised the wireless password was stored in ENVARC:
Now that's been changed, all is working perfectly.
