A1260 PCMCIA Wifi worth it?
Asking like a teenager.
![]() But yeah the main question centers around the router which obviously has Wifi. As opposed to a teenager, I don't need my stuff to be wireless. But my router has WPA2 by default and I don't know if I can create a non-encrypted network on the side to not waste 060 power on it or if I should try to find a wired card (with some RJ45 adapter) instead. Specifically, I want to know if any PCMCIA card works with AmiTCP 4+ and bsdsocket.library, or if you have to know details of drivers and versions of this and that to install. Cheers ![]() |

You will need a 16-bit PCMCIA wifi card (you can tell which are 32-bit cards because of their gold connector) with a compatible chipset. Cards with the PRISM2 chipset are the best supported (see https://aminet.net/package/driver/net/prism2v2 by Neil Cafferkey)
One issue is that these cards do not support WPA2 by default and you will need to flash them with newer firmware to enable it (from what I understand it is a process that depends on the particular card and involved some fiddling to locate the required tools and files) Of course there are people selling pre-flashed Amiga-compatible cards. |
