      Hello,

      i'm using an WRAP board with the embedded version of pfsense (at the moment 0.95). Its not possbile for me to set a wlan card to all possible channels (especially in the 5GHz band there are only 4 channels avaliable - ifconfig eth0 channel list). the card supports more channels. who to fix it?
      thx.

      Martin

        #1. FreeBSD doesn't have eth0.  So perhaps your using a linux box instead.
        #2. You're on a really old version.

          Hello,

          sorry i mean ath0 (atheros wlan card). whats the newest version for the WRAP box?
          in the download section (extra files) i find the http://www.pfsense.com/old/pfSense-Embedded-0.95.img. is it not the newset embedded image?
          after playing the half day: why takes it so long if the box is up?

            0.95.8

            It was in the wrong directory before, look in the updates directory on the mirrors.

            It will go back to the correct directory on the next sync.

              Hello,

              thx i find the right Version 0.95.8. But there are always this few channel for wlan avaliable (all 802.11g channel but only 4 802.11a 5GHz channels - there should be 10 or so). must i chance a sort of country code?
              why is the startup of pfsense in the embedded version on a WRAP box so slow? i tried it on an fast pc and it was much faster.

                fast=fast and slow=slow. sounds pretty much reasonable for me ;-)

                  There is a solution here:

                  And a Countries Codes List:
