Easy. Just use prism2.device as a driver for a wireless PCMCIA network card. It's just like configuring any other form of Amiga networking.

The hard part is finding a compatible card (they're the older 11mbps kind), although I think AmigaKit sells kits that have the cards and easily-configured software all in one handy package.
yeah finding a card  be  curious...i have a wireless  card  somewhere but its a pc  one prob  wont work  ..an i have the dongle of a 3com card with a network cable attachment it works on amiga  ..cant find the card though..
in australia its pot luck an ebay..
