As far as i've checked on the forum the driver is not ready yet.
Maybe in the Christmas Edition of the Gold Core ;-)
You can get the WiFi module here:

| We didn't even start to work on implementing that, now simply we don't have the time. Plan was just to prepare everything regarding hardware. Drivers etc. will be done next year. So far I have tested module mounted on V500 V2+ and it is working in AP mode able to show SSID and to provide IP over DHCP and that's about it for now.

| Understand...nevertheless, that is what is still missing and still the disadvantage compared to an A1200 or A600. But let's see what the future brings by this nice piece of hardware .-)

| You might be able to help yourself with one of these: EXTERNAL LINK
As I understand the wired network is functional already?

Wired network access has been working for ages on Amiga.
On the A600 and A1200 you can plug in a PCMCIA Ethernet card and download with speeds over 2 MB/sec with the vampire as a CPU card.
There are also some specially prepared wireless PCMCIA network cards you can use, Sir Lucas sells them on Amibay. On the A500 you have a lot less options for networking, until now Plipbox is the best but slow option.
On Bigbox Amiga's (A2000/A3000/A4000) you can plugin a Zorro II/III card for ethernet, or if you have a Mediator PCI board you plugin some PC network cards.

| Yep, I am happy to wait for the guys to do it right in their own good time.
After all that is why we have the Vampire today and why it is so great 8-).
Just wish I could play a bigger role helping out, but I am no coder 8-(

I Have managed to at least install Miami and get a Serial PPP connection going with a raspberry pi at 115200, and it works pretty well. Its no ethernet, but at least I'm on the net now. 8-)
