Amiga Wireless PCMCIA?

chaoticjelly · 29 July 2005, 15:16

Is it possible to use wireless PCMCIA on Amiga?

Does anyone have a guide, what sort of card should I be looking for? (brand, model number)

Thanks guys!

Get the drivers first: http://www.aminet.net/search.php?query=wireless

Then get one of the cards that are supported.

I'm using a Netgear MA401 wireless card with my A1200D. Works great

Same here, using WLAN since a year on my A1200.

how does this work? Can you just go buy any wireless b/g pc card and plug it into your a1200 or are there only drivers for specific kinds? and once it is working, does that mean you can transfer files between amiga and pc and also have internet?

thx

You have to get a compatible card .. And yes you can transfer between computers via internet..

I looked all through that archive and saw no list in the readme or elsewhere that shows the supported cards.. ? anyone know which cards will work with these drivers?
thx

Look for cards based on the prism2 chipset.

Hi there,

I made an overview of wlan cards supported by prism2.device.
See attached excel file.
