I know that the old intel (example 2200BG) chips couldn't be used in AP mode. I have bought a Wistron CM9 with Atheros chip and use it with Askozia (Asterisk PBX based on FreeBSD). Works fine in AP mode. So it should ok for pfSense too. Best is to have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/hardware.html#WLAN for supported cards. -- Best regards Dominik Schips signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil
[pfSense Support] possible bug
I am 1.2.3-RC3 built on Mon Sep 14 02:04:35 UTC 2009 I have a DMZ, WAN, and LAN on this box. I have been getting bleed through from the DMZ to the LAN and vice versa. I have a WAN rule, all stars except destinaition is DMZ net I have two DMZ rules, the are both applied to source DMZ net, one blocks an alias I have defind called internal_subnets and one allows anything except things destined for internal_subnets. I also had a rule on the lan that blocks anything destined for 10.1.1.0/24 (my dmz subnet), it did not work until I changed it to block DMZ net. Is this a bug where the subnets are not being recognized in the firewall interface? A curious thing is that I can now not ping 10.1.1.4 from a computer plugged into the LAN, but I can ping it from the diagnostics ping interface if I source the ping from the LAN interface.

[pfSense Support] Wireless Setup
I need to set some equipment up at the boss' digs and looking at all I need to do (OpenVPN client, DDNS w/ hmac keys back to our Bind Server and wireless ap for his family) I figured I can do all of this w/ pfsense. I looked through the archives and see that it can be setup as a wireless ap (I know nothing of wireless really) so that begs a couple simple questions. Is there any specific network card I should choose? I was going to use a ALIX 2D3 with a miniPCI wifi card. Or does any miniPCI based wifi card provide whatever functionality pfsense would need to make a wireless AP out of it?

He is using 1.2.3-RC versions currently, but that box has been through 1.2.1, 1.2.2, and various 1.2.3 versions without ever having a problem. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

If anyone is going to dig this in the archives, here is the simplest way: * download http://docs.real.com/docs/proxykit/osrtspproxy_2_0.tar.gz * patch with patches from http://www.grogy.com/local_doc/www/apache22/data/ports/net/osrtspproxy/files/ * compile, run * configure pfsense to forward udp ports 6970-32000 to it This little proggy also exists as a freebsd package, so I see no reason it is not included in pfSense by default. > i don't know about mms protocol. Microsoft's MMS hits the same problem (tcp control channel, udp data channel), but servers are designed to offer a http alternative. That's why Microsoft came up with asx ;) -- Jure Pečar http://jure.pecar.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

In my case, I have 5 Vista machines all with different patch levels and all different vendors, a switch infrastructure of Cisco 3750's and 3650's, and pfsense 1.2.2.
