          Plug the AP, server's private interface and a new pfSense interface into a switch. Plug the server's LAN interface, pfSense's LAN interface and LAN clients into another switch. That is all. Use pfSense as the default gateway for everything.

            Then just plug it into pfSense. Problem solved. You don't need to do anything else other than create firewall rules for the private WLAN.

              You could also enable vLANs on the server and trunk the AP and LAN it to pfSense on separate LAN and WLAN interfaces over the single LAN cable.

                I cant. The network card dont has an own network connection. Its usung the connection from the server to pfsense. Thats why I have an other network. Maybe I should buy a network card with RJ45 connection.
                Dont know if vLan would work on a Windows XP machine.

                  See my 2nd last post. Plug the wireless card directly into pfSense.

                    How, without an ethernetconnection? The card only has PCI-E.

                      Plug the card into pfSense and remove it from the server!

                        Ah lol ok, I understood ;). I don't prefere that, becouse there is already my public WLAN (Hotspot) and not enough space.
                        Maybe it's an idea to install a second networkcard in the server and connect it with pfsense, and bridge that to the WLAN card?!
