Do you not know anyone with a laptop running XP or Linux that can help you? Seems a waste to be spending £10-15 on a PCI card might only use once.

btw i tried to email you my address and gmail bounced back your email address :-/

[AmigaClassicRule]

then try the other email address: attaarts@gmail.com. That will not bounce back for sure. And you are right, might as well send the card to you. Can you email me your full mailing address, the total price of everything and means of depositing the money to you. I will simply mail the item and transfer the money to you which include shipping and handling of the return trip and the cost for flashing it. If it breaks and the card dies out email me and we will go from there. Thanks in advance.

Sure i can send you my address, however i dont know the postage costs. You shall have to find those out when you come to posting the item to me. As i dont know how your packing the item etc.

Where are you posting from?

Wow! what a distance! Well tell you what, get the card over to me and when it comes time to posting it back. I'll let you know what the post office quotes me and you just wire me the funds? Hows that sound? :-) Dont worry about me flashing the card, I dont muck around with 20 year old computers to make money out of it lol

Cheers for the informative guide Hiddenevil.
Just got my NetGear MA401 today and used an old laptop with XP to upgrade the firmware/station and it works like a charm in my A600@30MHz.
Whole procedure was really easy. Linksys drivers worked in my case but had to disable the radio from the tray icon for the WinUpate to stop giving some read error
Nothing serious though. Update was done flawlessly.

After using it for more than an hour on my A600 I can say that I haven't noticed any delay at all @ WPA2.
Using MiamiDx I've used any possible internet application (AmIRC, AWeb, SabreMSN, Samba etc) without a single issue.

Awesome stuff

I finally was able to borrow an old Dell D810 notebook with a PCMCIA slot but the only problem was that it has Windows7 and the Linksys driver would not work

What a frustrating machine. I turn it on and it first wants to download two years of about 500TB of windows updates. Who puts windows 7 on a machine with such low specs anyway. Oh, and the best part is it had some virus checker popping up(behind the browser... in the background) insisting that every single file I downloaded is infested with a virus.

So I just prepared an 60GB Windows XP HD (under Oracle VirtuaBox) with all of the drivers and files and I'm going to swap the HD in that D810 before I try it again.

That way I can leave that little treasure in its present condition and don't end up getting stuck rebuilding the OS after something goes wrong

I was going to try a linux live CD but with my luck something will be screwy with the CD ROM.

Hiddenevil, thanks for the guide! Hopefully it makes rest goes better. So far this has been a mission

Its configured connected to a PC and then connected to the ethernet port that its going to be used with.

I've got one of them on my Blu-Ray player. I bought it a Walmart. You have to configure it on a PC first if you're using encryption, but one it is set you then attach it to a ethernet cable and plug it into any wired Ethernet port on any device. It also give you teh choice of using it with a DC adapter or a USB cable to draw power (both are supplied).

<quick search>

Here's the one I bought:

Hi guys!

Just want to tell you how happy it makes me. Hearing I've been able to help my fellow Amigan's! As my friend Rockape often reminds me, it's good to spread the wealth Be it lending hardware or an ear to tech problems and trying to sort them out

If anyone does have an issue with flashing their cards, such as they can't get to a laptop. I am happy to help out, as i have with one fellow already.

So long as you:
A. Dont blame me if for any unforeseen reason your card dies
B. Shout at me if I'm not able to flash it, because the firmware isn't compatible.
C. Cover the cost of posting it to and fro

Hey

I finally got access to a working WinXP pc with PCMCIA slot...

I have not upgraded anything yet, but it looks as if I'm already on the most current version?

Should I still flash it? I did try the driver with my iPhone with PDANET but did not get it to work using WEP. Figured it was the firmware...

Thanks

Edit:

I tried to flash it anyway. This is the error I'm getting:
