Wireless network driver beta version released
« on: September 19, 2004, 01:08:04 PM »
A beta version of a new wireless network driver is available for download.  It supports PCMCIA cards in the A1200/A600 and PCI cards on the AmigaOne.


For potential compatibility information, see Absolute Value System's directory of wireless chipsets. If a card's chipset is listed there as Orinoco, Agere or Prism (except the SSF version) and its bus type is PCMCIA or PCI, it is likely to work. If the card is listed there but doesn't match these requirements, it will definitely not work.

download.

About time the amiga got some drivers for wireless cards! It would certainly make me consider cracking open my a1200 again to play around with.

I can confirm that this driver works well.  Just tested it with some OEM Prism 2 cards that we have and it talks to the broadband router fine.  No compatibility issues - worked first time.

Good work Neil!

Woohoo.. nice work Neil.

How does it compare to the cnet/3com ethernet drivers for CPU load and transfer rates?

It works on my A1200 with a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA but only with WEP disabled.  Anyone get this working?  If so, how about some hints.

@Doobrey

Thanks. It's only about half as fast as cnet/3com at the moment. I don't know if this will improve.

Guys. I`ve done a previous version of a reaction configuration program for this driver.Will be interested in sharing the sources with ncafferkey to merge either with his driver, or with his shell based config tool.I could try to merge it aswell.

Very cool. I've compiled a shorter list of all those cards from the other site. I'll post a link here later this eve. It's still organized by vendor but only list cards of the correct type and chipset. (Instead of "every card ever made" :)
Even in it's shorter form though, it still includes 280 possible cards.

Here's the link I made...
