      I have bridged my WIFI card to my LAN, but my WiFi client doesn't get a dhcp response, but if I punch in manually an ip address the WiFi on that client works…

      Can anybody help me please?

      Using the latest release: 1.2.1-RC2

      OPT1 (WIFI) is bridged to LAN, DHCP on LAN is working.

        Please take a loop at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,12336.0.html - it may address your problem.

        I've had a bit of a moan about what happened to DHCP over wireless some time ago - http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11095.0.html and http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,11309.0.html Its a while since I upgraded so I don't know if the situation has changed since I raised the issue. Your report and at least one other recent report suggests that it hasn't. These reports also seem to confirm my suspicion that the behaviour I described was likely to be found confusing and "non-intuitive" by others and consequently generate forum traffic - which may be a good thing  :)

            Some kind of limitation of me being a reader and not a poster perhaps..

              The links above no longer work because the 1.2.1 beta forum has been removed due to 1.2.1 no longer being beta :)

              This thread might help you:
