GibChingu Networking
I bought a PCMCIA wireless Internet card from AmigaKit.com to connect to the Internet without having to use a long (and ugly and annoying) cable... Best buy ever! I can now boot up my Amiga and access the Internet like on any other computers
I must confess though that I had a hard-time to get my router, the card, and EasyNet to get to work together: they behaved for a while like naughty children, each one running in a different direction! So, here are the steps that worked for me, starting from a new installation of the Workbench v3.0 and the CD of EasyNet v0.175:
Icon: Install-EasyNet
Installer:
Check-box: Intermediate User
Button: Proceed With Install
Button: Proceed
Nothing special, choose the destination, say yes to all questions
Label: PLEASE NOW CONFIGURE EASYNET
Dialog-box: Welcome to EasyNet
Button: CONTINUE >>
Window: Register
Enter information
Dialog-box: EasyNet needs to be setup correctly
Button: Proceed >>
Label: Choose prism2.device
Button: Choose Settings..
Window: Wireless Settings
Text-box: Wireless Network Name (SSID)
Button: SAVE
Dialog-box: Once the wireless network interface is selected and saved,
your computer needs to be rebooted
Button: OK
Button: SAVE
Dialog-box: EasyNet needs to be setup correctly
Button: Proceed >>
Window: EasyNet Network Config
Text-boxes: Amiga's IP Address 192.168.0.25
Amiga's Host Name GibChingu

Text-box: Primary DNS 216.252.64.75
Text-box: Secondary DNS 216.252.64.76
Button: OK
Button: Save
Window: EasyNet @2013 AmigaKit.com
Close it
Installer: INSTALLATION COMPLETE - PLEASE NOW REBOOT
Button: Proceed
Button: Proceed
Installer closes
Reboot
If you try to connect at this point, you will get a dialog-box: EasyNet Error stating that the prism2.device cannot be found.
Icon: Install of prism2v2

Button: Proceed

Wait
Label: Installation complete!
Button: Proceed
Reboot
Copy EasyNet v0.178 into AmiTCP:
Edit S:User-Startup to remove the line Run <>NIL: C:WirelessManager prism2.device
Delete S:Wireless-Startup
You can now go on-line!
