      hi,
      since the irc channel seems to be asleep, ill try it here.
      im using the newest (rc2) embedded pfsense image on my wrap with an gigabyte gn-wi01gs mini pci wireless card (ralink 2501 turbo chip).
      my problem is that the card isnt available in the interface dialog and therefor useless.
      i bought the card because its supported by the bsds, so where is the problem?

      €: dmesg says:

      pcib0: <host to="" pci="" bridge="">pcibus 0 on motherboard
      pci0: <pci bus="">on pcib0
      pci0: <network>at device 13.0 (no driver attached)</network></pci></host>

            pfsense uses all the drivers that freebsd 6.1 nows
            if youre card is supported the ral driver will be used for youre card

              well my card is listed here:
              http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ral/
              http://ralink.rapla.net/

              so freebsd (ural) should support it. but pfsense (embedded) doesnt…

                Did you notice the "discontinued" as backround at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ral/ ? Also this is not the official freebsd driver that is included in pfSense.

                  yea, but i thought thats because the drivers integrated in freebsd.
