My card is 'classic' era and it doesn't play nice with PCMCIA beyond 4meg.

Stock Workbench, whatever the version, is just too..erm..stock, for me.

Interesting to think that ClassicWb may be creating unnecessary RAM/PCMCIA conflicts. It's just so convenient to keep copying a know-good WB install that I never thought to put a fresh WB on just to test the Wifi.
Being able to use the full 8 meg with WiFi PCMCIA cards makes a significant difference for too - pretty much every website in Ibrowse runs out of memory with only 4meg fast, which makes the Wifi card kind of useless for anything but FTP. (Ok, so FTP is probably the only thing you'd use WiFi for with an A1200 anyhow, but still, it's nice be able to post to forums such as these from classic hardware from time to time
