@Ingo:

1. Is your WPA-2 passphrase hard to crack, not dictionary based and long?
2. Are you sure WPS "easy config" feature on your WiFi access point is turned off?
3. Is the login and password to your router administration webpage different than factory default? How hard it is? Have you limited access to this page to the inside of your LAN?

These are real security concerns. Hiding SSID is placebo. Publicly available tools will reveal your hidden SSID in less than a minute.

I am using a SMC2336W-AG which works with a limitation.
Each time I powerup I have to go into the network settings select my ssid and select use and go out off the settings menu,the led is yellow then off the connection.
Then I repeat the same.led goes green,do the same one more time and then I am online.
I tried just rebooting and wait for half an hour but led stays yellow only thing which helps is procedure above.

Good to know.Just placed an order for this card.

Hi, I wonder why didn't you get one of them:
http://www.amazon.com/electronics/dp/B0007OWNC2

which costs 1/4 of the price of the Cisco Aironet Card? (at least price here in Switzerland)

Is there so much difference that paying this much higher price is worth it?

Regards

Seems you have some insane prices in Switzerland. I bought Cisco Aironet in Poland for 10 EUR, postage included. TP-Link TL-WN310 costs roughly the same, as well as 12 EUR is the price of PCI based TL-WN350.

They (and most Amazon sellers, but not all) don't ship to NZ.

Hi all, sorry explained it wrong! What I wanted to say is that the Cisco Aironet cost here in Switzerland CHF 151.00
http://shop.rotronic.ch/de/cisco-aironet-802-11a-b-g-wireless-cardbus-adapter-netzwerkadapter/51936097.html?t_Action=SearchSchnell&t_SearchValue=Cisco%20Aironet%20card&t_Sort=&manufacturer=&device=&t_Hier=&t_SubHier=&t_lager=

and I bought the Netgear card, which I have in use now, for about Euros 20.00

So I wonder why the Cisco card is so expensive, is the price due because it's faster, better support, etc.

I have lot's off trouble to get online with the new wlan driver..
I have to do mutliple resets and get into the setup screen to get it online(green light).
It sometimes even ask for the wma key again after muliple resets.
If that happens I reenter the key and it's online in a few seconds..strange
I tried a smc and a netgear 511T both same behaviour.
If the connection is there it's rocksolid.

If you ever need help ordering anything from a re-seller who will not ship to NZ, let me know and I will be glad to order it for you and then ship it to NZ after it arrives at my location here in California.

Thanks, apparently it doesn't want to connect to WAP (no window appears) whereas it's ok for WPA. Unfortunately i have to connect to WAP.

If you mean WEP, I haven't had the time to actually test any wlans using it yet, so it may indeed be unsupported.

My old "router" was using WEP which didn't work with MorphOS so I changed it to WPA which of course works fine. Maybe manually editing the config file to include the password might work for WEP?

As a possible work-around to use WEP, here's a sample WEP config that could be added to the wireless prefs file:

Code:


network={               
        ssid="mynet2"
        key_mgmt=NONE                                           
        wep_key0=123456789abcdef123456789ab
        wep_tx_keyidx=0
}

BTW, why doesn't the code tag preserve indentation here?

Why? It is not mentioned on the hardware support page, so it will not work.

So am I right in assuming that when my G5 arrives I will only be able to use ethernet because USB wifi adapters are currently unsupported?

I'm not complaining, I just want to clarify the status of wifi support on G5 machines.

Yes, you are. You could still use a WLAN Ethernet bridge though. That's what I do with my Mac mini G4.
