Problem configuring AP with atheros card
-
those are not necessarily bad. we can't really help unless you post the actual rules you have. on the WLAN you could just create an any => any rule and that should work. there are posts about this, where some prefer a LAN => any rule and a specific rule to allow dhcp request.
-
I tried an any -> any rule and I get an IP from my DHCP server! ;D
But when I tried to go on the internet it don't work. Noting blocked in firewall log.
My rules look like that :
On LAN :
Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Schedule Description * LAN net * * * * Default LAN -> anyOn WLAN
Proto Source Port Destination Port Gateway Schedule Description TCP/UDP * * * * * ``` The internet acces works well on LAN but nothing on WLAN in spite of my rule allowing all traffic from this interface. I am just a step from the solution, does anyone have an idea? -
Can you show interfaces? e.g.' ifconfig -a'?

The internet acces works well on LAN but nothing on WLAN in spite of my rule allowing all traffic from this interface.
At the risk of being pedantic, the rule you displayed doesn't allow all traffic from the WLAN interface, only TCP and UDP. But I don't think thats your problem.
Your log shows traffic from 169.254.211.104 which is one of a range of addresses for systems that need to dynamically assign themselves an address. Its not an address in the vr0/ath0 subnet. There isn't enough information to say the system that can't access the internet over WLAN is using that address so you should check its address. Is it supposed to be assigned an address by DHCP? If so, perhaps that isn't happening and thats the start of your problem.
-
Yeah, I've been misled by that tcp/udp before. I think you're right, the autoconfigure IPs are suspicious.
-
I tried a rule allowing all traffic (not only TCP/UDP) and nothing more. I can acces the LAN but no internet.
My log is from when I didn't get an IP adress by DHCP. Now I can get a valid address (from 192.168.100.0/24) and I don't have blocked traffic from 169.254.211.104 anymore.
-
please try doing a packet capture on the WLAN when you try to go to the internet with a good IP.
-
I really want to do it but I can't because it seems it's not possible to do it on WLAN Interface. The 2 possible choices are WAN or LAN.
-
you can do it from the CLI. like 'tcpdump -i ath0'
-
Ok, that is what I get :

Looks like pfSense is expected to be the name server but its not responding. Do you have DNS forwarder enabled?
Do you get a response to ping by IP address?

I try just now after a reboot and it work well!! ??? I don't understand everything but after all it work.
Thanks everyone for your help. ;D
