I looked for this information in a couple of places and did not find anything yet, so I will add it to this thread, as it is related.

Has anyone tried a Prism2 compatible wireless card and Amiga 68k driver inside a G4 PowerMac in the Airport card slot while running MorphOS2.x to see if you could get a wireless connection for MorphOS2.x that way?

Well i have given up, i just simply cannot get it to work i have edited the startup 3 times now and each time i edited it i ended up having to do a clean install of AOS 3.9
so if anyone would like to make me an offer for the wireless card then fell free to PM me.

Don't give up, if an old geezer like me can get it working, any Amiga user should be able to also.

I haven't used my A1200's wireless connection for anything since before last year's AmiWest 2010 Show, but I remember I had to mess around a little to get it working.  It is just not that interesting to me to use wireless networking on a Classic Amiga, even though I have an 060/50MHz w/256mb RAM & IndivisionAGA, surfing the Internet from Classic Amigas is still a slow and unsatisfying experience.  I will still use it to transfer files when I need to move more than a few mb's of data, but other than that the wireless NIC on the A1200 won't see much use.

Heck, even die-hard Classic users like Franko use a more modern computer to access the Internet.
