Hello, I recently purchased and installed a *DCMA-82 IT miniPCI <http://store.netgate.com/DCMA-82-Industrial-Temp-80211abg-High-Power-mPCI-Card-FCC-P1073C26.aspx> (*Atheros Chipset) wireless card for my Alix 2D3.
I was running an older 1.2 era version of PFsense, but decided that I may as well upgrade to the latest 2.1 build. Doing so prompted me to upgrade the BIOS of the Alix from .99 to .99h. All of that worked smoothly and I can boot and run pfSense. The system sees the wireless card and can see wireless networks. I'm trying to setup my a wireless connection as the WAN, so in interfaces I've selected the wireless card (ath0) as the WAN. In configuring the WAN interface, I set the card to infrastructure mode (BSS) and fill in the network I'm trying to join's name ("wireless_network"). There is no encryption running on the wireless network, so I haven't changed any of that. For whatever reason the WAN network will never come up. If I go to status > interfaces, I see that the status says "no carrier" I setup an open network off of my cell phone and submitted the SSID of my phone's network and I get the same "status : no carrier" result. What am I doing wrong? As always, all help is very much appreciated, Jeremy
