hmm hold on I had this working last month... It didnt like my Mediator though.
Okay I think it went like this: edited User Startup thusly C:SetPrism2Defaults SSID <your SSID> KEY <Your WEP Key> Remeber router must be set to WEP as Miami cant do WPA/WPA2 |

Ok done that. What next?
I don't even get any lights on my PCMCIA wifi card at any point. Is there some other software I should be installing? Last edited by tonyyeb; 29 September 2008 at 21:52. |

I hate potatos and shirts

Also look carefully into the Amiga's PCMCIA slot to check for bended pins.

Ran cardpatch and cardreset from the Shell but still no joy. No lights on the Wifi card and not sure what to do next anyway?! Run MiamiDXInit? Then what?
What is the most simple way of testing this? Ive tried AmiTCP and still nothing. Does AmigaSYS or similar come with this already preconfigured? EDIT: Getting somewhere with MiamiDX..... will post results soon. Last edited by tonyyeb; 30 September 2008 at 22:22. |

It is definitely an Amiga compatible wifi card? 16bit prism2 chipset?

When I set my pcmcia card up with miami I had two issues. The first was I was installing the wrong driver when I should have been using the Sana driver. The second was I wasn't reading the card info from Miami DX during init.

Ok, I think im connected! What is the easyest way to test? I cant run AWeb and MiamiDX at the same time (low RAM).

Amiga Explorer trial version will limit you to 1Kbyte transfers but it will show all your hard drives which you can browse...
It is a nice bit of software. Well worth the money. |

hmmmm... what about amirc? http://aminet.net/package/comm/irc/amirc req OS 2.04, 3.1 recommended. MUI 3.8. Genesis, Miami, AmiTCP, as225, cpr225, inet225, MLink or a compatible TCP/IP stack. |

Didn't need to do that. It worked fine first time pretty much.

Cool.
It makes transferring ADF files to and from Amiga much easier... just drag and drop onto DF0: in AmigaExplorer Copy files quickly to RAM for unpacking. Not as good as a CF card for large volumes of data but for the odd sub 10Mbyte file it's great. |
