You need to update the firmware in your Netgear PCMCIA card.
The MA401 for example won't work without it. As soon as Miami/MiamiDX tries to open prism2.device, with an older firmware, it will freeze your Amiga solid.

It's not something you can do in an A1200 or A600 either, but is relatively staight forward if you have a XP Laptop, and once you have done it I can confirm the card will work fine with WPA on a BT-Homehub 2 for example.

Firstly Download

http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/WinUpdate-0-7-0.exe

Then Download

http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/firmware/1.7.4/pk010101.hex
http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/firmware/1.7.4/sf010704.hex

pk010101.hex is the primary firmware and sf010704.hex is the station firmware.

Don't use the Netgear Drivers to install the card under XP, instead use the
WPC11 ***2.5*** Drivers from below. Download and unpack somewhere.

http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/WPC11

Insert the MA401 and when the hardware wizard pops up choose the I will choose the driver to install, have disk options, then browse the unpacked driver folder and select LSWLNDS.INF in the WINXP Directory.

Don't allow any firmware updates if prompted, cancel them.

If in Device Manager you get a "!" next to "Instant
Wireless Network PC Card V2.5" With Error Code 10, then try a reboot.

Run and install WinUpdate , you should see the card listed, add both the .hex files (pk010101.hex first then add sf010704.hex) and proceed to flash the card.

You can verify the new firmware from the tools menu or do that first to see whats currently in the card.

It should then work OK fine in an A1200, just reinstall prism2v2 from aminet and follow the installer walk through.

Don't forget to add the following in your startup-sequence too

C:CardPatch
C:CardReset TICKS 50 AUDIO ON

after C:setpatch

both are on Aminet

Reboot run miamiinit and choose prism2.device and you should be OK
