my mistake,
in pfs-ap firewall rules u have 2 options default and gw of wan, i can not put lan as gw. :(
how to do this ? thanks

The problem doing it the way you describe, is that you will end up in a double/triple nat situation, I would recommend going the WDS route (wireless distribution system) as it is a transparent bridge and the only nat on your network would be your pfsense box, unless you switch off the firewall on your 2 linksys routers and probably some other settings, I've never played with stock linksys firmware as I usually flash ddwrt on them as soon as I get hold of them, I suggest firstly you find out what model you have and see if what you need is possible with stock firmware, if not then head over to the ddwrt forums and check if your model/revision if supported using their firmware.

Sounds like a possible firewall problem - check your rules (and mention the version of pfSense).

Okay…I enabled polling and interrupt time does go down. However, this does not solve the system locking up (but not completely dead. Only wan dead). I tried the mnbcluster workaround but it still seems to lock up.

Out of ideas now...

I have put this in my /cf/conf/config.xml to set a fixed rate on my atheros wireless card. Hope it helps.

<wan><if>ath2</if> <mtu><media>OFDM/54Mbps</media> <mediaopt><bandwidth>100</bandwidth> <bandwidthtype>Mb</bandwidthtype></mediaopt></mtu></wan>

The line with <media>is what i have added.</media>

No, it can't be a RADIUS client. This is the first I've heard of any ISP requiring that. I get a 404 on the link in your post.

check out the m0n0wall docs its VERY straight forward i have done it a 100 times

Sorry to hear you gave up :(
Why are you bridging this to the WAN??  If you need wireless WAN simply make the Wireless card the WAN card.

I see you haven't gotten any replies to this.  I have used several different wireless cards in my systems and I have yet to find one those doesn't work, but I don't know about your specific card, trial and error for cards not listed as supported.  As for making a wireless LAN forward to a captive portal the answer is yes.

i'm not sure which thread is the right one, but….i have lots of wireless issues that smell like this.

I'm using the latest build from last week (i have to check the version); before i went away for the weekend i spend a very fraught evening trying to sort everything out. I have three laptops at home, 2 IBMs and 1 Dell, 1 IBM runs Vista, the others all run XP.
The Vista Box and the Dell box could both get onto the net through WLAN, with WPA2. The other XP IBM didn't get a DNS server, which meant that a server I could use didn't any more.

The Vista box also couldn't get onto the net when i got home last night, though the Dell then suffered the same problem as the IBM had before, i.e. connection but no DNS. Through the cable everything is fine.

I will check what the status is tonight, but this is really annoying. I don't want to have to go back to IpCop, but I need a functional firewall :(

Did I miss a really good howto on the rules I must set up? Is there something silly i must check? (the encryption should be fine)....

thanks

Ok i've been playing around and i noticed some strange things:
The problem only occurs when the card is in client mode. Never (so far) when in AP mode.
When the problem occurs rebooting pfSense helps nothing. The problem exists right after bootup.
Rebooting the AP helps. For a while…

No, it does not work when you have a bridged lan to wlan, unless you use AP mode.

@shadow:

I picked up a cheap refurb ath5212 (3com 3CRDAG675) and swapped it in for my WG311; Rebooted and things were back up in 11g mode. Switching to 11a mode and applying makes the box appear radio-silent (it's up from the console and I can talk to the wired nets); Switching back to 11g and it's fine.

Right now it has 1.2 beta 2; I assume nothing will change in 1.2; Am I likely to be happier if I got back to something earlier, or am I just sad?

Answer: "auto" channel defaults to channel 34. When I force to channel 36, all is well.

FAQ: Do bridge wireless to wired interface if nothing is connected to the wired interface. The bridge will be down if one of the interfaces are down.

Thank You that's what I needed to know  8)

A quick check on the supported hardware page suggests that that chipset isn't supported.  You're probably best getting hold of a supported card (Intel generally comes highly recommended, but if you're only pushing a few Mb/s then you'll probably be fine with anything).
