Amiga Wireless Network?

Amiga-emuman · 19 September 2006, 13:21

I have noticed that the A600 and A1200 come with PCMCIA ports, and am wondering if it is possible to attach these computers to a modern wireless network with PCMCIA wireless cards?

I guess the first question is : is it's possible to attach a Miggy to a wireless network that uses WEP encryption (there are some screenshots on amiga.org suggesting it's possible with prism2.lha on aminet), but secondly: Is it possible to use WPA?

Getting an Amiga onto a modern WPA wireless network would add a whole lot of value to the machine as a modern wireless internet capable machine.

Has anyone done / do it???

I'd download prism2.lha from Aminet and see whether it supports WPA..

No support for WPA only WEP.

If you want to use WPA, is there any WPA equivalent of a device such as the Linksys WGA54G? (This lets you connect an ethernet wired device to b/g wireless, but only WEP, not WPA).

In other words, since amiga drivers do not support it, maybe we can use a hardware independent hardware solution.

It appears it does but you need to get the later hardware version, but could find it nowhere in their literature!
