doesn't work on my PB 5,2. Not Autodetect ...

That is weird as I have a PowerBook5,6 and does work (b/g speeds of course) - are you trying to connect to a n only network or is your SSID hidden? What do you mean with autodetect?

Autodetect = i open Network-Settings and WLAN Adapter is not listet, only LAN. My SSID is not hidden.

a) your card is defect
b) your PCMCIA-slot is defect
c) PCMCIA in PB5.2 is slighly different than in newer PBs and therefore not working

Choose your poison...

a) is not defect
b) is not defect
c) slighly diff? maybe...

If that is the case surely your adapter has the wrong chipset?

Yes, the same here. Odd

It might be some software related limitation of the PowerBook5,2 as it probably uses a different TI Cardbus->PCI bridge compared to the later models which is not supported by MorphOS (yet). You can check via showconfig if the card is listed as PCI device.
There should be both some TI PC card controller as well as some Atheros wireless network adapter.

I have a problem with Cisco Aironet AIR-CB21AG-A-K9.

I plug it in and go to prefs and network. I have the atheros driver in the prefs screen and add a manual ip that is free on my network.

I turned off the security on my router sine i don't find any place to enter any password in mos.

All that happens is that the cisco is blinking with both led's simultainius an no conection.

ifconfig in shell shows nothing.

?

what did i miss ?

The bus ?? ;)

MorphOS and Atheros does support WPA and you should enable that in your router.

If you select wl0 in the Network-Prefs you should see a list of available network, select yours and you will be asked for the password. A few second after entering you should be connected via DHCP (never tried static IP with WLAN),

If that fails you may want to provide more info, like what PB your useing and where it fails.

No success the cisco dongle start blinking when ambient loads.

i have
atheros5000.device:0
my network shows as
teliagateway 46 (ESS)

dynamic ip

loopback checked

typing ifconfig in shell only give
lo0: information.

my pb is a 1.67 g4 15 inch

Hope you plug it in before booting MorphOS. It won't work if you plug it afterwards!

What you should do instead is to select your network on the networks list and connect to it by doubleclicking. If the network requires a WPA(2) password, you will be prompted for it.

Once connected, the led next to your network name will turn green. Press Save in Network settings. Done.

I reinstall mos and choose the ateros driver and dhcp. added open dns ip's
and double clicked my network and suprisingly it worked.. YES!

Only difference I se is that I now use the latest mos downloaded today.

perhaps something was screwed up in my old setup hence reinstalling mos.

Anyway thaks for the advices..

PowerBook6,5 running "Device: bcm*" :-)

Nice, and hopefully no April Fools' joke.

And there was me looking at the (already known) "Computer turned on: No".

Nice spot Andreas!

EDIT: That WLan config screenbar module looks nice too - great stuff!

Well, this was definitely no April Fools' joke. I am currently working on the internal WiFi driver for the MorphOS 3.6 release.
I originally considered to launch some early bird user tester program for Easter which every registered user could apply to although our policy usually is that we don't release anything in advance before a full MorphOS update release. On a second thought, I considered that this requires some expertise regarding MorphOS and this should probably be limited to the more experienced users.
Anyway, as some sort of Easter MorphOS gift and to acknowledge the registration of MorphOS even without internal Wifi support, any registered MorphOS user who can actually make use of the internal b43 wifi may write some email to b43beta@morphos-team.net to apply for b43 driver testing to MorphOS Team. Please be aware that we still might reject your application and you might have to wait until MorphOS 3.6 is finally released, last but not least we have to limit the number of testers to a reasonable amount.
Also be aware that this is supposed to be some early bird testing, so if you don't feel comfortable with any sort of testing of new software, better wait for the final release and don't apply !

Is that Airport and/or Airport Extreme?

Quote:

Not the original Airport cards which don't use Broadcom chips at all definitely, so either "AirPort Extreme" or "AirForce One 54g"
You can use showconfig for example to check if a supported Broadcom card shows up in the boards section, it should be one of Vendor $14E4, either Device $4320 or Device $4318.

Hmm, a quick check on everymac.com show that the final ibooks use airport extreme, as did the 1.5 mac mini, and indeed the 1.42Mhz G4 and as far as I can tell all the G5s...


So, looking good on that point then!

(I'll have a check to see what my various Macs say re: Vender ID tomorrow, when I'm less dr*nk)

Yes, the internal WiFi, if installed, is of the AirPort Extreme kind in the following MorphOS-supported PPC Macs:

- eMac: all
- iBook G4: all
- PowerBook G4 Aluminum: all
- Mac mini G4: all
- PowerMac G4: FW800
- PowerMac G5: all

Right, on my 15" Powerbook 1.67:-

Vendor $14E4 Device $4318 Broadcom Corporation, BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller

:irritating dancing banana:

MorphOS 3.6 will be released in this year?

P.S. My Mini & PB so much happy :D
