| Hi everyone Can anyone offer any guidance on how to set up WiFi in coffin? I’ve searched google and have not found much information. I bought an easynet card which I know is 3com. I installed the driver then launched the wizard. I entered the ssid and password and it said complete but I don’t know what to do next. I don’t want to use easynet software and would prefer to use what’s already in coffin

| Hi Michael, have you made any progress since you posted this? I'm also "stuck" in not getting Wifi setup on my PCMCIA card from Retro Ready. In this case, linksys hardware. I initially thought my hidden SSID might be an issue, but I am now broadcasting the SSID and the Amiga (Coffin OS 54 and 55) is not finding it. I believe I put the DNS server information where it is supposed to be and selected the Prism2 driver. Thought I would check in with you Rob

| Have you set your router to 802.11a/b only? The old 16 bit PCMCIA wifi cards can only connect if the router is set up like that.

| Good reminder, but yet I have it set to 802.11 b/g/n at 2.4ghz. My router will only do 802.11a in 5ghz mode. I assume B is fine though.

| Same here, i got a Fritz 7590 Router, can't get any connection to my Amiga. With old one was no trouble. I switched my Smartphone as Mobile Hotspot between Fritz 7590 and Amiga600. That works well

| Please also provide information on WEP / WPA[123]. If in doubt, start with WEP, as many of those cards are not capable of WPA. Linux compensates with SW implementation, so other OS is not the benchmark. Ali

| That is a good point to start with WEP/WPA. I'm supposed to have WPA2 flashed to this card, but who knows.
