WiFi Question . .
« on: November 14, 2006, 02:31:04 AM »
My A1200 crashed big time last week, so I took all the suggestions to just start over from scratch. It's working a lot better now but when I use the wifi card it locks up the system a lot. It's a Netgear MA401 card. My wired card works just fine. Any suggestions? Here's what I have:

Miami DX
NetGear MA401
BPPC Accelerator w/ 64MB RAM
WB 3.1
BigFoot Power Supply

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that would make it crash. Let me know if you have any ideas!

have you tried resetting the card, before you use it ?
are you using the correct settings within miami (mni) ?

If you are using EasyNet, there is a diagnostic help option.

How do I find the correct MNI settings? I'm probably using the default. I queried the card from Miami. Is EasyNet available for seperate purchase?

Something else you (or others wanting wireless)can do is to use a wireless gaming adapter with a wired ethernet (RJ45) card.  Can be used with any amiga using an ethernet card with 10baseT or with a transducer to change it to 10baseT.

Strange that you didn't mention the previous problems you've had with this card.

Some wireless cards don't seem to be completely stable in Amigas. For example, one card I have works fine most of the time, but it always crashes when I try to use CVS. CVS works fine with other wireless cards I have. Maybe the firmware revision has an effect.

I think that could be true. I wonder if there was a way to find out what firmware revisions on what cards work? Thanks for the driver, it's truly amazing. Maybe i'll just call it quits on my WiFi card and get the gaming adaptor.. *sigh*
