Guide to setting up Atheros AP with pfsense?
-
I haven't tried that kind of setup. I usually bridge the wireless interface to the wired lan in such scenarios which works fine. I know there are some limitations when bridging a wireless interface (you only can bridge a wireless interface to another one if it's in AP mode).
-
I can't believe pfsense doesn't work when I bridge the WLAN with the LAN with no LAN device plugged in. I'm not understanding why that is a problem? How do other platforms overcome this issue?
-
Afaik it's a freebsd issue.
-
Really…I'm surprised no one tried to fix this. How much would a bounty do?
-
This is a kernel issue not a pfSense issue.
-
One more problem. I've got the wireless not bridged and on a seperate subnet from the wired now. Two clients connected and can ping the gateway of own and lan but can not ping another wireless client. Anything required in the firewall rules? Seems like it's doing AP isolation.
-
you need set the checkbox "Allow intra-BSS communication"
-
Thanks for the response. Works like a charm.

Hi, i also have a PfSense configuration with 2 Nics and 1 Wireless Card set as an access point (infrastructure gives me "no carrier"!?), i also have the "Allow Intra-BSS", but seems that the firewall rules don't apply between the wireless clients anymore!, any help?, thanks.
-
Infrastructure = Client
Access Point = Access PointFirewall-rules are and were never applied for traffic between clients.
-
Thak you, but do you know any way to control the traffic between wireless clients with the firewall?
-
Vlans might do the trick. I never tested this tho.

@lsf:

How should tat work? The only option that we provide is to seperate the clients from each other meaning they completely can't talk to each other. Besides that there is no way that I can think of to do that.

What are your Ap settings? WPA/TKIP?
