PCMCIA wireless NIC problem

redneon · 11 July 2005, 16:17

I'm trying to set up a PCMCIA wireless NIC and I've run into a little snag. Miami doesn't seem to recognise the card. When I run the MiamiInit
program and try setting the SANAII device name to
networks/prism2.device it says that it can't find the device and maybe
it's in use. This drawer and device definitely exist in the Devs
directory of my Workbench and I'm typing in the name correctly. Is
there anything immediately obvious I could be doing wrong?

What card is it ? Maybe it´s a 32Bit card (that ones doesn´t work since the A1200 got a 16Bit PCMCIA Port) ??

You haven't got one of these have you:

notice the amount of ram fitted makes a difference too.

Thats the prob I got, altho I hear there is a software fix you can get (or a dif accelerator preferably

), and is the reason why i havent gone out and bought a pcmcia nic for my miggy

Could I be getting the same problem with this?

Problem solved. It was a bent pin on the PCMCIA port. It's fixed now and I'm enjoying wireless goodness.

Thanks for everyone's help.
