Which PCMCIA-wlan cards work with A600/A1200 ?

[pVC]

Lucent Technologies' WaveLAN and Orinoco cards have worked fine on my A1200. Bronze, Silver and Gold models of them..

Those are pretty common cards and you can see them locally all the time too. I just bought Orinoco Gold (128bit WEP) to replace my Silvers (64bit WEP). It was just 3e including the postage (from huuto.net)

Some current examples:
Orinoco Gold
WaveLAN Silver 1
WaveLAN Silver 2
Or you could see if this comes in sale again

BTW. prism2 driver requires kickstart 3.x, so it won't work on stock A600... only if you've upgraded the rom.

For other models I'd just try to read compatibility part carefully from the prism2.device guide.

Thanks for these, made the buying part really easy for me .
Purchased the WaveLAN Silver 2 card you linked, as it was dirt cheap :lol:.

You're welcome . BTW. those Silvers should be upgradeable to Golds. I just didn't bother to google how, because they were cheap enough to buy real thing too

But does someone have experience with setting up a second network (one with WEP or no encryption) within the same subnet as one secured with WPA2? Is it even possible? You need 2 DHCP servers with non-overlapping ranges? Or can computers see each other on separate subnets somehow? All online guides recommend only using one DHCP server, but I suppose most don't have to deal with using WEP in year 2015.

I have two wireless routers in my setup, a main router as a gateway to the outside internet which also provides wireless WPA2 access, and then another one just for Amiga usage with WEP.

The WEP one is connected to the same LAN with others (no WAN connection at all on it) and I have disabled DHCP server on it. I haven't even tried if Amigas would get addresses with DHCP from the other router, I guess they should, because AFAIK DHCP client finds the server with broadcasting.. but using static addresses is easier with Amiga anyway.

So, all devices are happily in the same LAN/subnet on my system, but I usually keep the WEP router off and only turn it on on the rare occasions I need to get online with my wireless Amigas. It's still not the most secure way, but at least much better than having WEP available all the time. I guess you could make them to different subnets for more security and then have port forwarding for the services you want to share locally...
