        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"

              We do what we must, because we can.

                  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 Point

                    Firewall-rules are and were never applied for traffic between clients.

                    We do what we must, because we can.

                        Vlans might do the trick. I never tested this tho.

                          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.

                            @GoldServe:

                            What are your Ap settings? WPA/TKIP?
