a600 with wifi
good day all
my a600 with 4mb extra ram, which previously had amitcp working over plipbox so i picked up a MA401 netgear pcmcia card from a carboot managed to flash it on some old ibm laptop to the firmware that has wpa2 support i managed to get it to connect to a wifi network with no encryption, which isnt on my usual ip range (realised a 68k would fail with wpa2 LOL) - could that be the cause of s2_configinterface inappropriate state errors with amitcp when i run startnet? ill have to make a new wifi repeater with same ip range to test this i guess |

You don’t mention which driver on the Amiga you set this up with? I take it you configured the Wireless manager as well with the correct Amiga driver? |

i spent a lot of time configuring/swearing at wirelessmanager when i ran wirelessmanager prism2.device verbose i could see it connecting to my temporary wifi i made to test and the wifi source picked it up as a connected device with the correct mac address - but no ip address (as per my situation at the moment) |

I tend to use RoadShow as it’s good. If you can’t stretch to Roadshow then try getting hold of MiamiDX to test with. |

this is more of a curiosity for me as i have a cnet compatible card, and a plipbox(mainly for my a500) and amitcp seems to be happy with them, i guess it's either: ip config is borked cause its on a (crap) repeater which keeps messing about with ip ranges dont like prism2.device the startup order needs tweaking so it gets the wifi first as a startup/daemon type, then it gets the tcp config |

Is that true?
Prism2 driver + WPA used to work fine on my A600. The driver does say "WPA/WPA2 encryption is not hardware accelerated" for some cards. e.g. ones with Intersil firmware. You have to use hexadecimal psk using wpa_passphrase utility. I used MiamiDX as the TCP/IP stack. Last edited by alexh; 14 July 2022 at 17:54. |

Can you recommend some linksys wifi cards? Or can you recommend any link to a list of tested cards?

Last card I used on my Vampire setup before moving onto something else was a Netgear Model FA411 using the cnet16.device driver |

Was that an ethernet card too and not a Wifi card? |
