Thumbs down on the wireless card. They dont' really work too great on the Amiga.

A wired  Ethernet card, you will have a better time with.

The wired ones are way cheaper too, but my amiga is set up quite a ways from where the cable modem is :(
 
We need a spacier apartment pretty bad :)


Well if you go wireless, and get going satisfactorily, I'd like to hear what you use all around. I have a card here I could never really get to connect. Another thing we need in old 3.x land is a updated TCP/IP stack meant for wireless, smarter.

I never had any problems with the 3 PCMCIA WiFi cards I had for my 1200s, they were 802.11b (NOT g) Proxim/Orinoco Gold cards that didn't cost me more than $10-$15 apiece, the only limitation is WEP128 is the best encryption they support, no WPA. The prism2 driver on Aminet is easy to configure.  I've actually never used a wired internet connection on my 1200s.


Hmm, I just found one for 12 bucks. Will try this one. What stack do you use Tone? Sorry to go off topic a little...

I think I've only used Genesis with the prism2 driver.  Wouldn't foresee any problems with Miami, but who knows.


I almost got it working with MiamiDx last night, but the computer freezes up. Hmmm, I think I read that this has some thing to do with a conflict with Subway....

Will make a proper post, not here...
