amiga-news.de: Server migration finished, team changes
Meanwhile the announced server migration was finished. We would like to thank our both technicans Sven Drieling and Philippe Bourdin.
With the migration our former publisher Nico Barbat left the team of amiga-news.de. Eight years ago he had taken the responsibility from the founder Petra Struck. Without his engagement amiga-news.de would not exist in the current way. We would like to thank him for his longtime support.
We also say good bye to a second amiga-news.de member: Marc Albrecht who worked for the former Amiga dealer ACT has hosted the news for more than ten years. We would like to thank him as well.
This is the current team of amiga-news.de:
Christoph Gutjahr (cg): Editorial staff, Publisher
Martin Heine (snx): Editorial staff, Publisher
Daniel Reimann (dr): English translation
Carsten Schröder (cs): Newsticker
Philippe Bourdin (pab): Technician
Sven Drieling (sd): Technician
From now on amiga-news.de is on a server of the Aminet-team. We would like to thank Nicolas Mendoza for his support.
If you want to support our team then you are very welcome. Please send a eMail to team@amiga-news.de.

New webinterface for amiga-news.de chat
The IRC-channel #amiganews is one of the oldest and probably most active German chat room about the Amiga. Thanks to a hint of Christian Rosentreter now we can offer a comfortable webinterface which can be accessed by any web browser.
The webinterface does not work with IBrowse or AWeb but the channel can be used with a traditional IRC-client: irc.freenode.net, Port: 6667, Kanal: #amiganews.

AROS: Short review of Janus-UAE 1.1 (English/French)
On the website of Obligement a short Janus-UAE review in English as well as in French was published by Niko Tomatsidis.
As a result the high performace speed was honoured (on a netbook with 1,6-GHz-Atom-processor). There were minor problems with the mouse pointer and the complicated way of the installation was criticised.

Commercial WLAN-driver with WPA/WPA2-support (AmigaOS 3/4)
For a long time Neil Cafferkey has been working on a network driver for PCI and PCMCIA-WLAN boards with the Prism 2-chipset. All available, free versions only could handle the WEP-encryption.
According to Cafferkey on amiga.org, now he offers a commercial version of the driver for AmigaOS 3/4 which supports WPA-/WPA2-encryption as well. For 15 Euro for each board you will get a driver for AmigaOS 3 and/or 4. You can write your requests per eMail to the author.
In order to use the WLAN-board with the Amiga driver among others a firmware update is required. Cafferkey recommends version 1.7.4 and refers to an English tutorial.
