Amigakits's wlan card

Hi Jurassicc

Thanks for the offer and info, as this is a brand new PCI card. I think I will hang on for now and wait and see what Mathew at Amigakit comes back with and go from there.

I feel duty-bound to point out this driver for anybody looking for a new wireless card: http://aminet.net/package/driver/net/atheros5000

I just bought D-Link DWL-510 card. Is is possible that Sam Flex requires own version of driver, Like prism2 does?

Do you mean DWL-G510? If so, it must be a revision B card to work with atheros5000.device.

The Sam fix for prism2.device should be already included in atheros5000.device (and prism2 V2.x).

You are heti Neil :) is it possible to donate to you?

"heti"?

Sure, the email address in the archive and Aminet readme is also my PayPal address.

Have you tried the D-Link card yet, or are you waiting for it to arrive?

I'm waiting it to arrive. Heti should be hero, it is because I wrote it with my mobile phone, writing just is not nice with it.

I did that hack job. My modified port is for the older prism2 v1 device, and only so it wouldn't freeze when you did a soft-reboot. The later prism2 v2 device works fine on the Sam Flex.

I going to take a guess and say that the atheros5000 device should work fine too.

Well indeed

Best I try this out with one of my NETPCI001 cards which are "fortunately" 802.11b-compliant

Posting this from the X1000 so I guess Flexi, you're up

I was wise to be sceptical LOL

guess software cannot navigate around firmware/hardware limitations

adios!

My DWL-G510 card arrived today, but it seems to be rev C1 wich should mean it is RAlink card. :(

Does any one know, would miniPCI to PCI adapter work? Seems that I can't found now PCI card with atheros chipset, but I could get MiniPCI->PCI adapter and miniPCI card with atheros chipset.

I belive that this would work, IF miniPCi to PCI adapter is OK.


ATHEROS AR5005G MINI PCI 802.11 b/g

But how about this

D-Link AirPlus XtremeG DWL-G520. DWL-G520 should be OK, but makes AirPlus XtremeG difference?

MiniPCI cards in adapters will probably work.

There is only one DWL-G520 AFAIK, and I have one myself that works. Don't worry about the extra marketing terms

I too have a C1 510 here, does that mean it won't work? I don't really want to take my machine apart and spent time setting it up if it's not going to be compatible with the driver...

I tested 15 minits ago that D-Link DWL-G510 C1 doesn't work :(

Bugger!

As an update i have posted my card to Mathew at Amigakit this morning for him to do the firmware update.

Quote from Mathew:-

Yes I can confirm that it looks like the firmware updating is solved. If you send the card to us we will update it.

Have had this reply from Matthew at Amigakit.


Hi,

We have been trying, but your card seems to not want to work.
We are still looking into it, as the last card we done, worked fine instantly.

Anyone else had a problem doing the update, if so were you able to resolve it and how did you do it.

Regards

the one I bought from them was not flashed up to support WPA. Did that myself though. I may have ordered shortly before the WPA driver was released though, I don't remember. but it was quite old firmware in the card I received.

Hi billt

Thanks for your reply, just have to wait and see what Amigakit can do or if someone else has any ideas.

I ended up getting my own broadband line put in my room and my X1000 and Flex are hooked into the back of my new router. Not sure what Ill do with these 2 wireless cards now but I dont like there future prospects lol
