Wireless NIC

Hello I am a new pfsense user.

I am trying to setup a wireless AP on the OPT1 interface with a wireless NIC, after I set it up give it an ip and subnet; I can’t see the wireless configurations for the interface. I believe you have to set it as the wireless interface on the command line, but I am not sure. Can someone help me?

Thank You

Whats the FreeBSD interface name of OPT1? You can find this from the web GUI: Interfaces -> (assign) In the Network port column there is the FreeBSD interface name follwed by a MAC address in brackets, for example: rum0 (00:1b:11:b5:c1:c8).

Perhaps the interface you have chosen for OPT1 is not really a wireless LAN interface.
