This is a fantastic guide!
Cardreset and Cardpatch are not part of the ClassicWB packs - I thought they were already included in the latest CFD: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/cfd Not sure about pre-installing them, as the CF pack from Amigakit includes an install disk and it may interfere with that. If not, I can add them to the next packs, along with the Prism2 for network cards. |

I'm sure I never added the card patches to CWB ADV SP although its the old version I'm using, not your release this Xmas. I still didn't update becuase I've made so many changes to this install I just don't want to start again LOL! However I've not had any problems using MiamiDX on CWB Full and CWB ADV on my A600 with no card patches installed, I've not had to unplug/re-insert the network card or anything its been faultless throughout. I've also tried AWeb and IBrowse, they both work fine with all three packs following the guide. If you like you can link to this post in your section as its pretty much a guide to getting online with CWB, again Kudos on your Packs Bloodwych they really make it easy to get online even with an A600 although expanded. lastly, I'll update the tutorial to link the card patches on Aminet and take out the note that they are included. Perhaps I installed them ages ago and don't remember Steve. |

What we need I guess is to confirm that these two patches are now part of the latest CFD/cardflash.device on Aminet. ClassicWB uses this latest version and it would simply need moving from Storage to Devs to automount, so may not need those two patches in the startup-sequence.
Looking at the version history for CFD, it looks like these patches are no longer required. The fact some of your machines seemed to work without them hints at this too. |

From a cold start with the MA401 plugged in I can connect and get straight online or even when I was using the CF card in the PCMCIA slot I removed that, inserted the MA401 and connected with MiamiDX without restarting the Miggy, no problems. Steve. |

Looking for info on the PCMCIA reset hardware hack you can do...i found this.
"Otherwise, you need to slide the card out of its socket and plug it back in to reset that end of the network. This is a safe operation because PCMCIA cards have short power pins designed for 'hot plugging', but if you are not afraid of a bit of soldering, the reset adapter board is more elegant. There's no need for this bodge on A600s as they implements credit card slot resets correctly." That would explain it, maybe it's just 1200's. |

I know how my A1200 came to have the Card Patches already installed now. They are included with the installer for EasyADF

Y
One thing to add tho , it all worked great but it wont work if u have wep with alphanumeric key , in other words the wep key must be made of numbers only . At least it didnt work on my amiga with it and i had to change it into a numeric one . So if u should have probs its probably that. |

Support for WPA encryption
A commercial version (€15) of prism2.device supporting WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (CCMP/AES) encryption has recently been launched for 68k and OS4.
See announcement at amigaworld.net. Also, I have made an overview of prism2.device compatible cards. (attached excel file) |

(I'm not completely unable to read the thread ;- ) Now my questions is, where was the line located, i need a point of reference, so i can inject the line to pull up the network. Pretty please, with sugar, no, maple syrup on top? Edit Guess nobody knows. Does anyone have any input to offer, as to if it should be early, or late in the startup-sequense? /Edit Last edited by Mr B; 12 August 2012 at 15:20. |

So now I'm supposed to place the line C:SetPrism2Defaults SSID xxxxx KEY xxxxxxxxxx somewhere in the startup sequence, but the question is where? EAB, Sweden needs your help :-) |

OK, so I inserted the line in the middle of the startup sequence(after C:LoadMonDrvs). Got through MiamiDXinit part, got "online". But I couldn't surf into for example EAB or whdownload Plus everything feels kinda buggy, sometimes when I press online in Miami the ol' 1200 freezes and same when I press offline... Am I missing some card patch or something? Might be something missing in the startup sequence I guess

Also, in Cardpatch readme it states: Add "CardPatch" line to your Startup-Sequence or User-Startup. Should I just write Cardpatch anywhere in the Startup file? Lines like in that readme file and everywhere else in the Amiga world that drives me crazy Edit: Cardpatch is in C:, but I can't find any line in Startup sequence...
