      I think the requirement for firewall rules to allow DHCP traffic on bridged interfaces was new in pfSense 1.2.3.

      I think either ruleset will allow DHCP traffic. Depending on your security requirements you might want to tighten up the rules.

          you want a rule on the wifi with source of 0.0.0.0 and destination of 255.255.255.255, everything else is any (*).

            @XIII:

            What does it do?

              That rule allows DHCP traffic.

              DHCP traffic doesn't yet have a "subnet" it's all completely broadcast, source 0.0.0.0 destination 255.255.255.255.

                  If wifi is bridged to LAN, there is no such thing as "wifi subnet' because wifi has no IP, it's briged. :-)

                  So use LAN subnet there.

                    Ok changed it to this so is this correct?

                    What about DMZ? Do I need to do anything in there?

                      Should be OK except that you don't need the 'wifi net' rules, because of what I said before. If wifi is bridged to LAN, it has no subnet.

                        Thank you all, I think I'm all set. The wifi is working again and my rules are set up correctly now.
