Angry EasyNet user

I had all working with miami before and decided to try EasyNet on my new CW 3.9 install.
My card was working with Prism driver 1.3 and MiamiDX.
I was using this guide: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=52235
Thanks Fitzsteve

So on a fresh CW 3.9 I installed Prism driver 2.5 and EasyNet from a CD. Then I upgraded with floppy to the latest version. When I got to scanning, it was searching for wireless networks for 20 minutes and lights on my card started to flash rapidly. I restarted Amiga and lights are flashing all the time when system boots. I filled all the IP's etc and hit online. AMiTCPIP log says : Innapropriate state (Attempt to config twice)
I can't come back to wireless options only to EasyNet Network Config.
Obviously card is bricked by this software.

How do I uninstal this not so easy EasyNet and all it's components?
Can I return CD and upgrade floppy for a money return?

I find it hard to believe the EasyNet software bricked your card, more like something isn't configured correctly! If you are you using WPA/WPA2 encryption on your wireless then the card MUST support WPA/WPA2, either natively or by flashing it with new firmware.

I flashed my EasyNet card with new firmware and installed the Prism 2.5 driver and can now connect to my WPA2 protected wifi, so I know it works!

Have you flashed the Card as BarryB said.
Have you tried replacing the exe with the old one from the CD.

Maybe your card isn't flashed for WPA and thats the reason.

My network is WEP not WPA. Like I said card is working under Miami. I will run EasyNet installer again today to see what is installed where so I can uninstall properly. As soon as it boots to Workbench lights start flashing like crazy.

Whats does prepcard say about the card.
You are only using EasyNet and not Miami at the same time?

It might better to start a support ticket instead of using forums.

Ok typing this from A600. But back to Miami and Prism2 driver v1.3 driver.
I tried few times before giving up. I don't understand how 12 years old Miami can be easier to set than new EasyNet.

If you're only using WEP then there's no reason to update EasyNet to the new version, just install the old floppy then the CD and use AmiTCP.

EasyNet does work, both with WEP and now WPA so it must be a config error!

I tried that too. I don't understand why there is no automatic network settings and you have to type ip's etc manually. I will try to use new prism2 driver with Miami and see maybe that cause my card to not work. It could be that my card isn't compatible with that software. I don't know. It's working with Miami so I calmed down now. Not angry anymore, more like disappointed.
