Hopefully a simple config issue - Bridging Wifi to LAN with WAN access
-
What version of pfSense? 1.2.3-RC3 or a later snapshot?
If not, go to System > Advanced, check the box to disable hardware checksums, and try again. That is needed with some combinations of NICs
-
it is 1.2.3-RC3
-
What kind of hardware?
-
NetGear WPN311 atheros chipset

Sure you're getting an IP without this:

Also, might be an issue with this infamous bug, but havent seen this issue with newer snapshots but might be worth a try for you:

This should be fixed in RC3 and later snapshots, that was the checksum issue I mentioned above.

well my windows machine says it gets an IP, but can't get out to the internet, and if I try to ping the default gateway, it fails, transmit failed, it says. My linux machine does not get an IP.
I tried setting up that rule on my opt2/wifi source 0.0.0.0 port 68 to 255.255.255.255 port 67, applied, waited for the refresh, and I'm still stuck unable to get out online via opt2/wifi.
Linux machine still does not grab an IP address.
Should I try pfsense 1.2.2?

Post up a screenshot of your firewall rules on your OPT interface.
You did use UDP for the DHCP rule, correct?
Anything suspicious in your firewall logs?
-
I would think you could just use one rule and specify any for the source IP, no?

0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP on the OPT interface so no.
