      Hi all,

      I'm looking for a supported mPCI-e card for my new APU board. I have looked at the list at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.3R/hardware.html but this is from 2012, and I was hoping there is an updated version of this.

      Thanks,

        That's it until pfSense hits 2.2 and moves to FreeBSD 10.

        You're better off just using an external AP, that way you can use n & ac.

        EDIT: Some drivers have been updated.  Atheros, Intel em, igb, and ix, maybe others.  You're still better off with an external AP though since you can still only get a, b, and g.

        I can break anything.

          The Atheros driver, ath(4), is backported from a newer version so you have more choices there. For example:
          https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=67772.msg398548#msg398548

          You'll probably get better performance from an external AP though.
