Wireless Card for A1200

Lorfarius · 24 June 2019, 13:59

Been looking on eBay and noticed one of these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amiga-600...53.m1438.l2649

Says it is Amiga compatible but assuming it will need some sort of driver? Never done this before so all new to me

Want to run it on my A1200.

Check prism2.device on aminet and read its documentation.

Will give that a look, thank you!

Or check here, Lucas may get some new cards in stock? http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=81915

I bought 2 of him, work flawlessly.

Are wireless cards more resource/power hungry than conventional ethernet? I just use wifi Ethernet bridge for my other old gear and it works out cheaper and less hassle to configure each device as the bridge is interchangeable

Certainly less processor usage with Ethernet, as no decryption required

Thank you very much for your kind words

I'm afraid that I'm out of stock if it comes to WIFI WPA2/AES cards.
I've got only dongleless ETHERNET ones in stock.
