It doesn’t look like that particular Atheros chipset is supported yet in FreeBSD, which means you will not be able to use it with pfSense at all.
(The alc(4) driver supports the Atheros 815x series of devices, but only claims to support the AR8151 and AR8152 so far.) I assume you’re using a BIOSTAR motherboard, since no-one else appears to use the AR8158 yet? This chip is new enough that even Qualcomm/Atheros’ own website does not list it! You might have to wait for pfSense 2.1, which is expected be based on FreeBSD 9, *if* support for the chip is added to FreeBSD 9 prior to release. Most likely, you’ll have to wait for pfSense 2.2, which might be based on FreeBSD 9.1 – whenever that happens. Since FreeBSD 9 is already in beta, I doubt support for that chip will be added before release. -Adam Thompson athom...@athompso.net (204) 291-7950 - direct (204) 489-6515 - fax From: Ivanildo Galvão - IT Services [mailto:ivani...@itservices.com.br] Sent: Tuesday, September 06, 2011 10:13 To: support@pfsense.com Subject: [pfSense Support] Install NIC Atheros of mainboard Good afternoon, how do I recognize the pfSense an onboard NIC ? Is there any command or some way for him to download the driver from the internet via shell? The card in question is Atheros AR8158 - 10/100 Controller, the offboard Realtekhas been recognized and is usually configured as a WAN, the need to enable Atheros to be onboard LAN.
