New Prism driver and WPA2

[AmigaClassicRule]

LOL! Yeah, have fun getting your Amiga wireless baby!! You are running exactly the same thing I am running and after weeks of struggle my A1200 fails to go online wireless. Forget wireless and stick with wired. I need to get a wired Ethernet card for my Amiga and a very long cable, but this is the only choice I have with it. If you managed to get it online, please tell me what you done to get it online because I sure gave up myself.

Well i've had wireless working fine, but i wanted to get WPA2 running on account of it being more secure and thats also what all of our laptops are set to. I dont want to be entering in MAC addressed when ever a friend wants to log on to the wireless. Besides it's suppose to work lol

Which contract you got that from that says it is suppose to work?

Thanks, it was touch and go. I've not really played around heavily with my Amiga's in ages. But after the last meet up of our club and hearing about the drivers. It was what i'd been hoping for. As i was fedup with swapping and changing the router's wifi settings whenever i wanted to use a WEP limited A1200. Now the old lad's caught up!

You just need a linux or windows based machine with a PCMCIA port. Not sure if you can get USB PCMCIA adaptors :-S

I'll be posting up what i did in a day or two. I'll do my best to help anyone if they need pointers.

In your blog I want you to put STEP by step in the most intesified detail as possible. To a point even a person with an IQ of 60 would be able to do it by following your steps. What hardware needed, what needs to be flashed on and on and on. Could you send that link to this forum here? I really need to read all the details as possible because I want to get my miggy online wireless instead of paying for a wired version. Thanks in advance.

Freakin loo, all of that just to chat on wookiechat and sabreMSN??! I start to wonder the worth of it. It is getting too complicated here I saw the adapter for PCMCIA to USB and it cost me 150 dollars. What?? Just so I can flash the ethernet card? No, it is not worth it. I am going cable instead of 30 bucks.

Thanks Rob, yep he left me a message I just hope this is of help to people out there, trying to get online

Hey hiddenevil,
 
I want to ask one question. If I send you my netgear card by mail, pay for shipping and handling for both sending and receiving as well as a fee charge for doing the flashing for me, would you accept and flash the card for me?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
P.S "Better yet, can I just buy the card from you flashed and I will pay for the flashing fee and shipping and handling for sending the item to me. How is that?"

Funny thing is, hiddenevil have still not responded to my request yet.

Hi there

If you want to send me your card i can certainly look in to it for you . However flashing my own cards and someone elses is another matter. I'd certainly want it to be clear that I cant be responsible for the sucess or failure.

I'm happy to offer fellow mig owners help, i just dont want to get shouted at if a card doesnt flash right :-(

I am OK with that. Can you send me your mailing address at amigaclassicrule@gmail.com? This way I can mail the card to you? Also can you give you me the full total price including shipping to you and back to me as well as the price for flashing the card? Thanks in advance.


Or better yet!!! Can you send me a link or something where I can USB to PCMCIA adapter so I can insert the PCMCIA card into my PC (I have windows XP myself, 32 bit windows xp too) and I can follow the guide. If it fails I will go through you as plan B. Thanks in advance.

then try the other email address: attaarts@gmail.com. That will not bounce back for sure. And you are right, might as well send the card to you. Can you email me your full mailing address, the total price of everything and means of depositing the money to you. I will simply mail the item and transfer the money to you which include shipping and handling of the return trip and the cost for flashing it. If it breaks and the card dies out email me and we will go from there. Thanks in advance.

[AmigaClassicRule]

Sure i can send you my address, however i dont know the postage costs. You shall have to find those out when you come to posting the item to me. As i dont know how your packing the item etc.

Where are you posting from?

I am posting from Canada.

[AmigaClassicRule]

Wow! what a distance! Well tell you what, get the card over to me and when it comes time to posting it back. I'll let you know what the post office quotes me and you just wire me the funds? Hows that sound? :-) Dont worry about me flashing the card, I dont muck around with 20 year old computers to make money out of it lol

Hey hiddenevil,
 
I received your email and I have just to wait till the end of the month to receive my money. As soon as i receive the money I will send you the cash for postage, and the flashing
I am going to send you 40 dollars for flashing the card
Thanks in advance.
