A1200 / Wireless Netgear card / Prism2.device

[mchaggis]

Hey all, I purchased an A1200 recently and am setting about getting it onto my local Windows LAN.

It is a bare A1200 with 2MB (8MB card coming)
NetGear MA401 Wireless Card
OS3.0
Miami
Prism2.device

This is a very stock standard ami (for now).

So far i have used a floppy disk to get prism and miami onto the machine; the prism2.device driver is in the devs:networks/ directory. And Miami is installed on the data: partition of the old 40MB internall HDD.

Configuring Miami is proving to be an issue for me; no matter what i choose in MiamiInit i can never see the wireless card come up in the station list of the wireless router, and nor can I ping in or out.

I have set Miami up to treat the wireless card as both a SANA-II device and an Ethernet device. Both dont work for me.

I have tried various settings for DHCP, setting a fixed IP, using DHCP. I have tried the router as the gateway, and the IP of my sever as the gateway. All without sucess.

I can ping (effectively) localhost by pinging the IP i hardcode as the A1200's IP, so I am confident that Miami is working. I've also added miami to the path via user-startup. Just to make using it a little move convienent.

Looking through other posts I have seen that some soul got a NetGear MA401 working with prism2.device drivers; does anyone know of the trick or can point out what i might be doing wrong?

I have also tried all of this using the cnet.device driver; to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

Nope, I didn't know about that command. But it is now firmly entrenched in my user-sequence

And no sooner had the commend been typed then the router reported a client.

Thanks for your help.

And thanks for your help also; those settings were valuable for getting DHCP to work.

I can happily ping in and out of the A12.

There isn't enough memory in it too do anything else; but I bought an 8Mb card on eBay over last weekend; so when that arrives I'll start using Samba.

Thanks again.
