Cool stuff, one thing I don't think the guide mentions is that when you edit the files such as amitcp:bin/startnet and amitcp:db/interfaces amitcp:db/passwd it changes the file info and you need to go into information and tick the executable and script options. I thought I better put this down on here, as I recall this tripping me up before and I am sure others will find this too (using OS3.1) Last edited by A1200 on 11-Jun-2010 at 01:15 AM.

| For my latest ADSL Wireless Router Firewall suggestion, you can't go wrong with a Draytek Vigor - the 2820 is their flagship model. Available with wireless n networking and VoIP phone port models. They have a 2nd WAN interface for load balancing or failover and a USB port for a 3G dongle for the same purpose. _________________ Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 64MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1 |

| Whap happen if the router not have WEP config?. I have a router, just have WPA, WPA2, and others, but not WEP.
Exists any way to config Prism2.devices with this?. I saw in any site somebody updated the firmware in any Netgear network card (lke the mine), but i dont know if that could work.

| @Drummerboy Latest prism2.device package on Aminet has WirelessManager, which is a ported WPA_Supplicant from Linux. This should support WPA and WPA2. However, experience shows, that your mileage may vary depending on your WiFi router and the actual WPA configuration. _________________ MorphOS, classic Amiga, demoscene, and stuff "When a bridge is not enough, build a Viaduct!"

But not work for me. Then i dont know if i am missing something in the Startup-Sequence. Take a look to the Startaup-Sequence in this machine:

| @Drummerboy The first obvious spot is the usage of SetPrism2Defaults. This tool is for setting up WEP, and is for the old prism2.device. With the WPA-aware new driver, you don't need this tool, and more you have to remove it!
Second, you have to start WirelessManager instead, and configure it using ENV:Sys/Wireless.prefs. The readme of the new prism2.device details this. But anyway, this file is equal to wpa_supplicant.conf on some Linux distributions, which is a simple text file. Wireless.prefs has the same syntax, so there should be plenty of examples floating around on the net for specific hotspot configurations. Last edited by Chain-Q on 17-Apr-2013 at 08:19 AM.

Ok, apparently all seems set. Taking a look to Wireless.prefs.
But, when i try to config the Internet conection with the MiamiDX - MiamiInit, not found the IP, Gateway, subnet mask, etc.
Then, something is wrong.
Suggest, comments, are welcome.

| @Drummerboy Did you start WirelessManager? This is the process step-by-step:
1., you make a Wireless.prefs file which you think should work. 2., start WirelessManager from shell. Wait until it prints some lines to the shell window, which indicates it found the desired SSID and successfully connected to it. This can take up to 30 seconds (or more with slow CPUs). 3., if it fails to connect to the SSID you specified, press CTRL-C to exit WirelessManager, and tweak Wireless.prefs until it works. :) 4., if WirelessManager connected *THEN* press Online button in MiamiDx, to connect the TCP/IP layer of the network. 5., If it works, add the required WirelessManager line to s:user-startup, or make some shortcut script to start it when desired.
Few notes. - WirelessManager is part of prism2v2 package on Aminet, get it if you don't have it yet. You also need to update the SANA-II driver to the version which is found in this package. - the whole wireless connection thing is one level BELOW your TCP/IP stack, which will know nothing about it. Think the WirelessManager connecting as plugging in the cable on a wired network. - I don't recommend running WirelessManager all the time, because it's a CPU hog, especially with machines using a slow CPU (anything less than a '060, really), since it does all the WPA encryption/decryption which is normally done by the network hardware all by software on the main CPU (because your old network card which works in the Amiga can't support WPA by hardware). So only start it before you go online.
... I should really wrote a tutorial about this, with screenshots... This is roughly the 15th time I try to explain these things to someone... :) _________________ MorphOS, classic Amiga, demoscene, and stuff "When a bridge is not enough, build a Viaduct!"

Great explanation!.
I will check again step by step all your suggests this night. I am away from my A1200 in this moment.
You know, the wirelessmanager never opened in my WB, trying to run from shell. I dont remember now, but said something like "bad arguments".
Sure, be great any tutorial with some screenshots! I will update how works. Thanks! _________________ Amiga 1000, 500, 600, 2000, 1200, 4000...

| @Drummerboy Writing this from memory, I think you need to run it like this: WirelessManager prism2.device 0
With the 0 being the unit of the device. _________________ MorphOS, classic Amiga, demoscene, and stuff "When a bridge is not enough, build a Viaduct!" "Strip the Amiga community of speculation and we can fit every forum on a 720k floppy" (by resle) |

If i write WirelessManager prism2.device 0 show "wrong number of arguments"
If i write just WirelessManager prism2.device something happen, but not open any window and the cursor in the shell disappears; then if press Ctrl+C show "CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING-SIGNAL 12 RECIVED"
I dont know if i am missing something.. _________________ Amiga 1000, 500, 600, 2000, 1200, 4000...

| Ok, for now nothing
But using in shell "Wirelessmanager prism2.device verbose", show the card find the netword, you know "can see" the network, but in the results says too "No Suitable network found", and "not WPA/RSN IE" But the router is configured as WPA-PSK. And the Network names match.
What could be happen?! _________________ Amiga 1000, 500, 600, 2000, 1200, 4000...

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

Ok, great explanation!. Sure, this MA401 must have an ols Firmware.
I will do that Firmware update.
Thanks, and I will be informing about.
