you can always crack it open and add a better ANT might even let you use a pigtail
also try changing channels to something less congested in your area though when most finally switch 100% to 5GHz the 2.4GHz range will be silent
i cant use 2.4GHz anymore been about 3 years since i had to switch i can pickup 100's of access points in 2.4GHz from my property
also i live near a busy road so i pickup tons just from the buses and peoples cars etc driving by all day

oh and printers lol you be surprise how many have the wifi direct on
you can easily connect and waste all there ink or say hi lol

Hi all,

I have a similar problem using Roadshow and a PCMCIA card.

The card is an Orinoco Gold which I bought years ago and never used until today.

So on my clean, fresh OS3.1.4 installation I installed Roadshow and Prism2.

I did *not* install card patch etc as I read somewhere it isn't necessary in Os3.1.4 anymore.

Then I had set my local wifi to B mode (as my Advanced Tomato firmware does not allow B/G not mixed.

Sadly the connection is only up for one second or so. WirelessManager is stating:

Associated with 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]
CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 reason=0

Does somebody have an idea what might be the reason?

edit name_resolution on devs:internet in the line name server, insert your router ip

Thanks, I'll give this a try at the weekend.

Hi. It's not a Roadshow problem. It's an Orinoco and/or router problem.
If you want Orinoco to work with your router you need to set it up into:
WPA/TKIP - no mixed mode, no WPA/WPA2, no TKIP/AES - just WPA/TKIP.
Also, B or B/G or B/G/N mode. Otherwise you will not be able to associate to your router. Only if you associate with your router will you be able to use Roadshow to connect to the Internet.

The other option is to get a WPA2/AES WIFI card that has been previously flashed/upgraded.

For example this one:

So i've bought another PCMCIA card, a XI-300. This one should be able to use WPA2-PSK.

And it seems to connect. But I can't access the internet or ping e.g. www.google.de

Also I can't ping my router on 192.168.1.1. Here's a screenshot:

http://cloud.oscott.de/index.php/s/NQF2xyXZZgqjKoW

I left Prism2 at the default settings to use DHCP:

#address=192.168.1.133
#netmask=255.255.255.0
configure=dhcp

In the file name_resolution I set my router's IP because I assume (but don't know it fore sure) that the router "manages DNS requests somehow":

nameserver 192.168.1.1

And in the file routes I also set the default route to my router:

default 192.168.1.1

Is there something wrong with this configuration?

I use DHCP also, but as a result have nothing set in name_resolution or routes as this should then be established during the DHCP part of things (and indeed it is, as my net connection via Roadshow works).

What does the ShowNetStatus command return?

Are you sure the wifi connection is up? Run Wirelessmanager in CLI to see what is happening.

Lock the wifi to 802.11b and use WPA2-TKIP (not AES or Mixed).

So I did the following:
1) Installed CardReset and CardPatch and call them from the startup-sequence after the SetPatch line. I read that OS3.1.4 fixed some PCMCIA reagarded things, but these patches still seem to be needed.

2) Set the Wifi network in the router to "B only",WPA2P/TKIP.

3) Then I unset everything in name_resolution and in routes by commenting out all lines in these files.

So my current connection attempt goes like this:

> WirelessManager prism2.device
Trying to associate with 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 (SSID='MyWifiNetwork' freq=2412 MHz)
Associated with 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8
WPA: Key negotiation completed with 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 [PTK=TKIP GTK=TKIP]
CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 58:6d:8f:40:11:e8 completed (auth) [id=0 id_str=]

> ShowNetStatus
Local address             = (Not set)
Default route             = (Not set)
Domain Name System Server = 127.0.0.1

> ping google.de
ping: host name lookup failure for "google.de"; try again

Seems that I got no IP address.

How can I solve this?

Did you ever call AddNetInterface?

Oh yeah - thats right. I forgot to run AddNetInterface..

But that was no full solution. Because after the line

WirelessManager prism2.device

I called

AddNetInterfacee prism2

And it didn't return for more than a minute, so I canceled it with <Ctrl-c>

But then there was a success: by changing the file Prism2 to a static IP and *not* using DHCP I got connected. Now 'ping google.de', IBrowse etc. works.

I don't understand why it's not working with DHCP but I can live with a static IP :-)

Jep thats also my problem no DHCP for old Amigas.

DHCP equals

at least for my Plipbox....

this PCMCIA WIFI howto below is for IP using the DHCP not static ip protocol as it will automatically configure it for you using the Roadshow prism2 interface script file.

1. Install Prism2 latest from aminet and input your SSID and Password when asked.
2. install Roadshow, demo or pay for it
3. install Amissl from aminet. And install cardpatch too for the PCMCIA
4. now find your Router Gateway IP this is the one that allows you enter the router settings, I.E mine is 192.168.0.1
5. You will need to find the DNS NAMESERVERS , you can get these from your Router settings normally in the INFO section.
6. Now you need to edit some Roadshow files, so open text editor and go to Devs/Internet and open the `ROUTES `file, there you put your gateway IP, so at the bottom of the file input your Default Gateway by inputting `default 192.168.0.1 ( Example, this is my Default gateway IP) save the file.
7. Now open the Name_resolution file in the same folder and look for the #nameservers, here you replace the ones there with your nameservers from your router info, you might have two, and then remove the # at the front of the text so they will be active, so my examples nameserver 194.168.4.100 nameserver 194.168.8.100 then save this file
8 .Nearly there
9. Now open a Shell window and input ` addnetinterface prism2 ` , you should see some output with the IP addresses you have given RoadShow.
10. This command will add the prism2.device so you can get online, so input ` wirelessmanager prism2.device `, again you should get some output saying connected, if yes then open a browser like IBrowse and you should be online

For a beginner I would suggest using an open WiFi network to get things going in the first place, at least I never managed to connect my Amigas to a secured network. And to add to that, I also haven't been able to connect the A to any of my modern WiFi networks even without a password. Tried connecting via a few different routers but it didn't take me far, it was only when I bought an old scond hand Netgear WNR2000v5 N300 WiFi router when I got things rolling. Also using an Android phone as a hotspot never took me anywhere.

I don`t know but I mention it as it will be required on some Amiga OS
