      Hello everyone.
      I have a WL54H© Wi-Fi card, but pfSense does not recognize it because it's based on realtek RTL8185 chipset not ralink. On the website there is a linux driver for this card. Is it possible to get this card working on pfSense with those linux drivers? Thanks for your help.

      Link for the drivers

        I don't see that chip (RTL8185) supported even in 2.0 at a glance, though you might want to try a 2.0 snapshot to be sure.

        Here is a more up-to-date list of supported wireless cards:
        https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AojFUXcbH0ROdHgwYkFHbkRUdV9hVWljVWl5SXkxbFE&hl=en

        Look on the second tab in that spreadsheet for chipset and card details.

          Just tried 2.0 Beta. It doesn't work. :(

            I suggest you save yourself some trouble and buy a supported card that also supports access point mode. I'm pretty sure that in the last couple of months I have posted a list of cards supported in pfSense and supporting Access Point mode and available where I live for under US$30 (after conversion from local currency).
