| This should be good news for anyone wanting to use a wireless card on their AmigaOne. |

| This is something I will be considering when I get a MicroA1, which I'm planning to do later this year, there's not a lot of point making my AmigaOne XE wireless as it never moves around, but a MicroA1 is a lot smaller and is more likely to move around to shows, events etc, where wireless could be an advantage.
Thanks for creating the driver, I will download whatever is the latest version when I am in a position to use it. |

| 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.

| Hello All
Good news about this wireless driver about time we had one!
Only problem is that its not for 1200 PCI busboards either Mediator or G-Rex. I guess ill have to wait for Elbox to pull there finger out and make one!!
Could be in for a looong wait! _________________ Live Long and keep Amigaing!

That's great. What system config did you try it on (A1200/A600 or A1)? |

| OK, looks like time to give Suzanne that MB change and cut a slot in the side. I have a ZoomAir card here just gagging to be tested. _________________ Simon

| The driver and our wireless cards were tested on an A1200 REV 2B
Will test an A600 REV 1.5 next.
All tests are with AMITCP3 and our forthcoming EasyNet software. _________________ Amiga Kit Amiga Store Links: www.amigakit.com | New Products | A600GS

| will you be or are you selling these cards amigakit? and if you are/will be what price range are we looking at?
I dont have a wireless network here yet mainly because my network is mainly amiga's and my powerbooks that either dont have drivers for wireless cards or the cards are hard to come by... _________________ Regards Darren 'Ryu' Glenn ---------------------------- www.IntuitionBase.com - Your Guide to Amiga OS4.x and the AmigaOne www.Bambi-Amiga.co.uk - My A1200 webserver, running 24/7/365

| Maybe, too early to say ATM. Depends if the cards test thoroughly on a range of Amigas and offer good performance.
If they are sold I expect the price to be low- I imagine around £29- still early days.
I'm aware that Amiga owners don't want to go hunting around for the right card. Ive just tried to put another brand of wireless card in the A1200 now and it wont fit because the notch on the PCMCIA card is raised- probably to prevent it being used with PCMCIA type 2 computers. _________________ Amiga Kit Amiga Store Links: www.amigakit.com | New Products | A600GS

There are some compatible D-Link cards. In fact, I'm using a D-Link DWL-520 myself (only certain revisions of this model are Prism II though). |
