Hello,
As I was locked to reply to amigadave in my previous thread, that's what I do now because even criminal has rights to defend. I encountered the post I was referring to and most of you were right:

Some MorphOS-Team member said WLAN is rather unlikely. The driver itself may be bearable, but the secure layer is another story. WPA2 will probably not happen and WLAN w/o WPA2 is rather useless. If youu want to have no long cable inside the house you may add a WLAN router / AP beside the mini and connect both with a short cable. This may not be the dream-solution, but a fairly-okay soulution.
So you guys were right. But still, dunno wheather I'm quoting a MOS system developer or some other guy. And unlike what golem adviced me to do once, I WON'T "try for a while" to figure it out. I think this whole story at https://morph.zone/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6469&forum=11 is just a typical and unwanted (by myself either) consequence of my unanswered plea on that time. I consider the topic closed and hereby won't answer any issues on it.

And now the specs - according to what I've managed to read here for last half a year (hope I won't be accused for FUDs anymore, feel kindda paranoid while writing this)... but anyway to the point:
Connectivity
- Analog modem* - won't be supported, little usability reasons
- WiFi - might be supported but NOT in initial release, WPA layer extra work as major reason
- Ethernet - supported
- Bluetooth - unsupported
- 2 x USB - supported
- FireWire - unsupported
Also
- graphics - supported, all specs
- Combo/Superdrive* - supported
- Audio - supported
- Video - supported
Others
- Wifi access can be bridged e.g. using EDIMAX EW-7206AP (price ~25 Eur, tested with Peg2)
Hardware marked with (*) varies depending on the model.

Was: Mac Mini PPC running MorphOS 2.4
Now: Amiga Forever 2010 with AmiKit and AmigaSYS
Not used: Icaros Desktop 1.2 (reason: no wifi)
Planned soon: an OS4 system
Shortly then: a MOS notebook (wifi is a must-have)
