Or you can print it using the File printer driver, then copy that file over to the system connected to the printer and print it there.

@garyg:

I think you are referring not to RoadShow, but to Roadie, which is a third-party GUI for the RoadShow TCP/IP stack.

RoadShow (for OS3) is a commercial product and contains, I am sure, much more than four files.

WiFi or cabled shouldn't matter to a TCP/IP stack like RoadShow, those are different layers in the network model ("ISO model"). A successfully connected WiFi interface should simply appear to the TCP/IP stack as a device/unit like any other, to which you can then assign (or seek, if using DHCP) an IP address for your machine (interface).

It's more likely you need to seek out some docs for the device driver for your WiFi card.

(Well, unless the OS3 version of RoadShow includes some extra stuff I don't know about. I'm using it under OS4.x.)

I'm not sure I know exactly what you are describing, but if you attach an ethernet cable between your Amiga and that access point, you have a normal cabled interface as seen from the Amiga. If on the other hand your Amiga is supposed to receive the WiFi signal coming out of the access point, you have to have a WiFi card (adapter or whatever) in or next to your Amiga, and on the "inside" of that card, it will look the same to the system.

In both cases, when set up correctly, they will just be interfaces (NICs) and seen as such by the TCP/IP stack.

Nitpicking… OSI model, not ISO
Yeah, I know. I blame mind regression :-D. Back when I first learnt about it 30+ years ago, the 7 layer model was referred to as the ISO model, at least here in Denmark. And you're right, of course, about TCP/IP sort of "bleeding" between the layers, but mostly between what in the OSI model is called layer 3 and 4, not down to level 2 (data link layer, e.g. Ethernet). Still, to a large degree, TCP corresponds to layer 3 (network) and IP to layer 4 (transport).

In general I would suggest not doing wifi with the Amiga itself, and rather connect the Amiga using ethernet to something more capable,
I agree. I have in the past successfully used a Netgear WNCE2001 WiFi adapter and a small switch in front of my Sams which were in the living room where I didn't want to haul Ethernet cable. This was with the WiFi from our own router, but it might also work in garyg's situation.
