atheros wlan device is working

@arfcarl

Ralink RT28xx. Yes.

Are these chipsets cards widely available,and what speed are you looking at?
Are you going PCI or USB?

@ncafferkey

No I got it working eventually, was that extra line in the config file that I emailed you about

@ncafferkey

Nice. Are we aiming at rt2800usb or rt2800pci?

Looking forward to try it in a Sam460ex (PCI-E 1x or USB).

You never said what PCI card you use in your SAM 460.
Can you also send the link where you got the card from.

@Tuskagee

Me? I got the 3com one that was mentioned earlier in this thread. Got it for 99p on ebay

@NinjaCyborg

I can't see that the exact model/chipset was mentioned? USB, PCI or PCI-E 1x?

I have a SATA card in my PCI slot.

Yeah I got the 3Com 3CRDAG675B which is PCI card. I don't use SATA I just use SD card and USB disks.

@arfcarl

PCI/PCI-E initially.

@ncafferkey

Nice, looking forward to try if/when it becomes available.

Sam460ex: preferably in the PCIe x1 slot.
Sam460cr: PCIe x1 slot (instead of sound card) or PCI slot (instead of SATA card).

Trying to get a wireless pci card working on A5000.

Sorry for a little offtopic, but still Amiga wifi related.

I use my Mac Mini as a way to get wifi on my X5000.
Just a x-connected lan cable between Mac/X5000 and setup up wifi Internet sharing on the Mac side.

"Cheap solution"(if you own a Mac) and it has worked great over the past 4 years!

And I use TwinVNC for accesing the Mac from AmigaOS.

@ncafferkey

Any news about that status window?

Mick Sutton need help to set up prism2 on his Amiga 5000.
Can anyone help?

What help does he need? It's not hard.

He keeps getting this line
Line1:Invalid configuration line 'Passphrase must be 8..63 character's
Failed to read or parse configuration 'ENV:Sys/Wireless.prefs
What does this mean
You can reach him at micksutton59@sky.com

he probably needs to put quotes around the passphrase if he hasn't himself already created the WPA key in hex format

The card show up on ranger,but is not connecting to the router.
I think it got to a problem with the password
ssid= "name"
Psk= "password"
Psk= "password"

Which prism 2 drivers should you use on the Amiga 5000?
Also in name resolution should it be numbers and no words.

Just to be sure: there’s no Atheros 9000 support, right?

@utri007

No progress unfortunately as I've been spending my sparse Amiga time on recovering from two HD crashes/corruption!
