MAC filtering can be enabled backend, this has been explained before (search forum and tickets). WDS is not a standard, and is is not possible to enable a WDS type setup in pfsense(freebsd/driver limitation).

hi, lets discuss the problem again. or does anybody solved it? I upgraded to 1.2-BETA-1 and the configuration is WAN=wireless adapter, which gets the IP via DHCP from another AP. LAN=interl card and works fine. If I reboot the pfsense box, then the WAN interface does not get an IP address. After a release/renew made by hand, it works fine. What should or could I do, that pfsense gets an IP address after rebooting? thx

Now I finally got an adapter yesterday, I used wireless for PFSense and am having the same problem. But the problem IS the PSP. I read a Sony forum where A LOT of people are having trouble with WPA on a wide variety of wireless routers. WEP does seem to work fine for me, but I won't enable it for security reasons

AFAIK, you can run in a,b,g if you are in client mode. I you are running as an AP, you have to pick between a and b/g.

It seems that the problem occurs only when the CM9 card is working in client mode. I have managed to overcome this by making a shell script, executed by crontab every 5 minutes, that sets the correct values. I have not noticed any problem with that for about 7 days of constant operation.

I don't think that this is possible, not only in pfsense. You have to choose between b/g or a. Maybe I'm wrong but i haven't seen anything like that from any wireless card.

I've never really looked at the madwifi list before now, but it is actually a good reference list of cards based on Atheros chipsets. Every card listed there should work, and that list appears to be much more comprehensive than any list I've seen for FreeBSD. Definitely a worthwhile reference, even if it is for a completely different OS.

@ngoc: Hello, 1. What are the internal card valid for PFsense? Anything supported by FreeBSD I suspect: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.2R/hardware-i386.html @ngoc: 2. I want to get an access point with several relay? For example: wan–-pfsense --- AP ----Relay1---Pc2                           |                           |                           PC1 Is it possible? The AP can be an internal card? You could do this with an internal wireless card, see the pfSense features page (http://www.pfsense.com/index.php?id=26) for details of what's supported.

I gather this is now working as it is all ok for me now

Wich version of PFsense do you use ? My WRAP works fine with the 1.0.1 Release…

I do have the same chipset with the same problem. Can you please provide me, which bios version I sould take with a short howto upgrade? Thanks in advance Regards Chris

Search the m0n0 mailinglist. It has been discussed there in depth. Some accesspoints don't pass individual MAC-adresses along or modify IPs on passthorugh (doing NAT).

Btw, ever opened one of these Accesspoints that you can buy? Lot's of them have a minipci or even cardbus card in there that are wired to the antenna with a pigtailcable (for example see http://www.ralphfowler.com/links/dwl900.html for some shots of an open dlink AP with pccard at the bottom of the article).

man route: route add 0.0.0.0 mask "nettmask" "gw" and to delete route delete 0.0.0.0 mask "nettmask" "gw"

I was able to virtually eliminate this problem with the following quick-n-dirty shell scripts. It's assumed that you stop+start olsr on bootup via /usr/local/etc/rc.d/olsrd.sh These scripts will periodically reset the wireless interfaces, plus restart olsr every three days because it has a slow memory leak if using olsr's MID functionality. #!/bin/sh Save file as: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/batch.sh Required: chmod 555 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/batch.sh /root/ath0.sh & /root/ath1olsr.sh & #!/bin/sh Save file as: /root/ath0.sh Required: chmod 555 /root/ath0.sh ps -x >/tmp/batchath0.txt if grep -qi "sleep 3600" /tmp/batchath0.txt then echo "found myself already batched." else sleep 3600 fi ps -x >/tmp/batchath0c.txt if grep -qi "sleep 3600" /tmp/batchath0c.txt then echo "found myself already batched." else this forces an interface reset. ifconfig ath0 burst #ifconfig ath0 down #ifconfig ath0 up sleep 2 /root/ath0.sh & fi if olsr crashed/halted then restart it. ps -x >/tmp/batchath0b.txt if grep -qi "olsrd" /tmp/batchath0b.txt then echo "found olsr doesn't need restart." else olsrd -f /var/etc/olsrd.conf & fi #!/bin/sh Save file as: /root/ath1olsr.sh Required: chmod 555  /root/ath1olsr.sh Required: chmod 555  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/olsrd.sh ps -x >/tmp/batchath1.txt if grep -qi "sleep 300000" /tmp/batchath1.txt then echo "found myself already batched." else sleep 300000 fi ps -x >/tmp/batchath1.txt if grep -qi "sleep 300000" /tmp/batchath1.txt then echo "found myself already batched." else this forces an interface reset on backbone (5.x/etc). #ifconfig ath1 burst #ifconfig ath1 down #ifconfig ath1 up #sleep 2 this restarts olsr because it has a slow memory leak. Or, reboot. /usr/local/etc/rc.d/olsrd.sh /root/ath1olsr.sh & #reboot fi

FreeBSD would have released a advisory if it was an issue because some of the code is borrowed from the madwifi project.  I have seen no such advisories so I wouldn't sweat it until we see one.

Well me and programing don't go tryed it and failed. I have found this if anyone knows what they are doing and wants to tinker. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ural&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+6.0-RELEASE http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ral/ http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html I guess we will have to see what freeBSD do or if someone devlops a more reliable driver.

That is right. All bridgemembers have to be up.

Interesting, maybe these parameters could just be integrated into the gui?
