Hmm, I had a lot of trouble with this too, but got it working. What sort of PCMCIA card did you get? Or where did you get it?

You are doing things right, the error is telling us possibly a couple things:

1. your network card just isn't working / compatible with the prism2.device.

2. there is something not right with your card slot on the computer.

I had one from AmigaKit, and it never worked for me. Then I tried again with a different card and things went great.

So far you have not even come to any issues with WiFi, cause your driver can't even talk to the network card...

the card i have is an Amiga Wireless Orinoco Network Card which i bought from a member here on the forum who goes by the user name theformula (do any of you know him? he seems like a nice guy) i just want to get this thing up and running.  :(


Well there are no "Amiga" WiFi cards, but your wireless Orinoco network card, should be a good one. It's what I've been using, specifically:

Orinoco Gold 802.11b Wireless PC Card

I had my success with Miami, not Genesis. Try the TICKS thing mfilos said then report back...

Then you get that, it called the "pipe" character.

There you go..

This card is NOT PCMCIA friendly when more than 4MB of RAM is fitted.

p.s.  I see some memory jumpers on the pic for that board.  Perhaps you can disable some of the RAM using those??


Ah ha! good to know there was an answer to this mystery.
