Wireless not detected as wireless
-
Do I have to do anything special to the wireless card to get pfsense to detect it as wireless?
Right now I have em2 bridged to the wireless card, but when I log into the interface, the wireless options aren't present under opt1. -
What driver is the wireless card using? (e.g. what is its interface name)
-
Gigabyte GN-WP01GS PCI WLAN Card(Turbo)
Is that what you're looking for?
-
No, under Interfaces > Assign, where you picked your wireless interface for OPT1, what is listed there? It should be a network driver such as ath0, ral0, etc.
-
Oh. em2.
Only ones available were em0-2 and plip0. -
Then none of those are your wireless card.
It was probably not detected at all.
em0, em1 and em2 are Intel gigabit cards, and plip0 is parallel port I/O, which is not really a network interface.

:(
when I go into the Host Virtual Network Mapping section, it shows the gigabit card.
-
Most VMs will not properly expose a wireless card to a guest OS. I'm not sure if VMware will, but I know the VirtualBox doesn't. The only possible way might be if it were a supported USB wireless card and you can use USB passthrough to get the job done.
Even that might not work.

damn :(
