WPA now supported by prism2.device

Awesome news!

Where do we look for said firmware updates, and how do we know we're looking at the right one? Is this a vendor-specific thing for each card model, or a generic prism2 thing that will work on all cards?

If I license a driver for a card, does that license follow the card from one Amiga to another? If I think I'll swap back and forth classic+PCI to AmigaOne do I need both a 68K license and an OS4 license for the same card? (I don't suppose many will do this, but if someone is just experimenting with various machines or upgrades from classic to new OS4 motherbaord someday) It's not expensive so I don't think it'd be a problem to rebuy the license for another CPU/OS version.

Is this becoming a wider wireless API that others can port drivers for other chipsets to, or is this a monolithic prism2 driver?

It's generic. Everything you need to know is here: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/

I've been trying to check and update the firmware using my WinXP tower, bu thave been unable to find a driver for this thing so the card will be recognized by the Windows updater tool. Grrr. I even managed to get the PC internet connected via the wireless to ethernet dongle from my Tivo, and can check web pages, but online driver scanning comes up empty. Boooo!

I'll have to try Linux. Wubi, here I come looking for you...

Anyone been successful? My Amikit card has PCI IDs vendor=1260 device=3873.

Update - I believe I got my firmware fro P1.1.0/S1.4.9 changed to P1.1.1/S1.8.2 now, via Linux prism2_sec program. Do we need a bounty to port prism2_srec and hostap_diag tools to OS4?
