WiFi USB for A1200

[nicholas]

There is a Realtek 8180 driver for AROS. You could always ask the author if he'd port it.

I will check with AROS community but in the meantime does anyone else have an idea of A VERY GOOD USB SUB that allows me to have A1200 online in WiFi via USB? I don't care if the transfer rate is equivalent of a 56k modem...as long as it can go online to do Wookiechat peacefully and sabreMSN. Thanks in advance.

There isn't one.

I do not want WiFi..they are non functional and non working. I want wired PCMCIA card.

The thread title states otherwise.

Does anyone know any link in eBay or what to search in eBay for a compatible 100% PCMCIA Ethernet card that works in the Amiga 1200 with no additional drivers?

Save yourself the hassle and just go to http://www.amigakit.co.uk and by one of their easy network cards.

As long as easynet wired card works the same as netgear without problems I am with you there!!
 
Yeah...it may have being stated there when I thought a USB version was available since it all went back to PCMCIA again...I decided to change my mind. From vast experience, frustration, upgrades and hassle I got nothing more than trouble with WiFi and no success. Maybe where I live WiFi is not an option for Amiga...but again, Amiga's lacking of latest hardware, software and driver renders the concept of having a WiFi almost impossible. And already it is impossible to have it through USB.

OK, from my memory you need to buy a Netgear MA-401, install Prism2 device driver from aminet, them install Card Patch and Card Reset also from Aminet.

Then install (Roadshow/Genesis/Miami/AmiTCP)TCP/IP stack and you are good to go.

It's been many years since I had this set up on my old A1200 tower though.

You must have went WEP with it.

If you want WPA/WPA2 you'll need v2 of prism2.device

The Readme in the above archive lists the compatible network cards, just buy one of them from eBay.
