Hi Folks,
is it possible to use the Intel Pro/Wireless 2915ABG as an access point
with pfsense embedded ?
i?ve just installed the card on my wrap but there are no new interfaces
in the interface assignment.
Everything i found on the forum was that post from 9th of April 2006:
Nothing has changed regarding Intel Wireless NIC support. It's a freebsd
issue, not a pfSense one.

Does dmesg report the card at all ?
It's Atheros based so it should show up as ath0.
Does ifconfig list it ?
Please provide more info.

Hi,
thanks for your quick response. I´ve attached the output of dmesg and
ifconfig to this mail.
the card is reported in dmesg:
wlan: mac acl policy registered
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)

That's not an Atheros card. It should be supported by the iwi driver
though, we must not have that in the pfsense kernel for some reason?
Maybe this is why, from the iwi(4) man page:
This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work.

Maybe I'm wrong, but one of the first intel ABG cards was based on a
5212 chip, thought it was the 2915 but maybe not. Been a while since i
last tried out the intel cards.

Thank´s all for your help.
I think i´m going the easiest way with my mini pci card. Send it back to
the online shop and order something fully supported ;) (without
propietary microcode and such nonsens).
Again. Thanks for your help! That´s why i love pfSense :)
kind Regards
