no gateway set on opt1wifi connection…..set no internet connection.

Set the AP to bridge mode

A year ago or so i tried with a WPN311 (REV. A2) but it didn't really play along. Too many packets errors.

Ok i looked around and found that my card is a 5414(i opened the metal shield)  SUPER AG .
I did some testing with other router software an manage to work with super G but not Super A.
I also found some problems with this Chip (5414),in some other software it does not even detect it as a 5GHz capable card.

ura? do you mean ural? ural should work just fine, even in AP mode I think. Do you see a (+) icon at interfaces>assign in the webgui? Also make sure the usb adaptor is plugged in at bootup already. Can you provide th dmesg section of http://<pfsense-ip>/status.php from a bootup with the stick already connected?</pfsense-ip>

I bought the WG311T which had an atheros chipset but worked for a short while and then worked off and on. You may have better luck the with the WG311 than I did with the WG311T which may have a different chipset. This card may work much better under pfSense 1.3 that uses FreeBSD 7.

On pfSense 1.2 I have had much better stability with Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter, WUSB54G Ver. 4. Make sure it is version 4 in order to get a compatible chipset.

Or you could pick up a PCI adapter and a mini PCI atheros card from Netgate.

@hoba:

disable nat by enableing manual outbound nat (firewall>nat, outbound) and deleting all autocreated rules

That is all, that is needed at the pfSense to shutdown NAT. Additional to that you only need that one static route at the openbsd box.

I don't get that other thought with the WLAN and nat but the above procedure is pretty simple and probably better.

Read the config page.

NOTE: leave blank to use the system default DNS servers - this interface's IP if DNS forwarder is enabled, otherwise the servers configured on the General page.

Well still had problems with the receive errors. However on monowall 1.3b11 the problems go away. Not sure if this is maybe a bug somewhere.

Thanks for posting this. There was a similiar hardwarehack neccessary for the wraps when using high power wlan nics iirc. You also should get a decent psu when using such a card.

whoa it's working!! you are the man!! I feel so much safer on WLAN

OK Thanks.

Finally, I could make Airport Extreme and Airport Express to run in the WPA2 Enterprise mode. Here is how it works:

go to the shell

type: vi /usr/local/etc/raddb/eap.conf

uncomment all command lines within the brackets of the following protocols: tls and ttls (DO NOT uncomment the commentaries)

save the file

restart FreeRADIUS in the Services Menu of the Browser.

Configure the Airports as Clients on pfSense/Freeradius and configure the wireless settings on the airport as WPA2 Enterprise with the Radius settings you just configured (secret key, etc.)

Connect to the Airport via your Powerbook and choose "TTLS - PAP" in the 802.1X Configuration menue.

Everything should work fine for now, except that you get a certification warning.

Note that this help is not the safest way to use. At least you need to create new certificates later and place them in /usr/local/etc/raddb/certs

It works, thank you!! :)

@GoldServe:

What are your Ap settings? WPA/TKIP?

There is a user from this forum that has 2 boxes running @5 ghz (cm9) cards 700 m away he gets about 6 Megabytes/sec.
I have seen a benchmark with 2 ALIX 3C1 with Staros @ 5ghz(cm9) doing 9.4 Megabytes/sec (Atheros super A) 7km away.
If your looking 4 speed use 5ghz cards to do the backbone .
@ 2.4 ghz like the hoda said you get about 25 mbits (~3.5 Megabytes/sec)

Microtik will beat pfSense in wireless performance, the driver they use are developed by microtik and is much better. The rest is pretty much the same.

It will if you have a region setting on the card that allows it.
