The card is fine and it'll work with WPA/TKIP.
Go to your router settings first of all and set WPA/TKIP - B/G mode.
Don't use mixed mode or WPA/WPA2 PSK. It is important that you set WPA/TKIP.
Then go to your User-startup. You'll find a line:

C:WirelessManager prism2.device

Put a semi-colon in front of it and save. Make sure you have CardPatch and CardReset installed in your Startup-sequence.
Now, reboot. After loading the WB open CLI and type:

C:WirelessManager prism2.device

We'll see what happens. If you have set the router right it should associate with the router.
What's your setup? What's the turbo board?

I think the lack of CardPatch and CardReset might also be the issue.
Add both of them to SYS:C and then add these to lines to your SYS:S/Startup-Sequence

C:CardPatch
Run >NIL: C:CardReset TICKS 50

Thank you for all the answers, unfortunately doesn't any better than earlier.

Tried a fresh install (A600, Skick 3.1, WB 40.42) today with all the help above in use, but still no. Snoopdos revealed some missing libraries (prometheus and powerpci) and downloaded them, cybpci.library I couldn't find but googling it I found that it is something that can't really be needed with a stock Amiga.

Two years ago when I tried this the last time, I began to think that maybe the card just doesn't work and as utri007 and mechy also suspected it might be faulty, guess I'll end it here and get a new one some day?


Does your A600 have at least 020, because this is what the Prism2.device driver needs.
You don't need these libraries to run PCMCIA. Orinoco GOLD/SILVER work fine, I've got two of them, but as I've changed my router I can't use them anymore, as my router doesn't support WPA/TKIP. So, for everyday usage I use WPA2/AES cards.
If anyone is interested, I've got a lot of them for sale as well:

They work quite nice with RoadShow TCP/IP stack.
