    i have dlink n150 desktop pci adapter that has chipset of ralink rt5360f. i tried to make it work on my pfsense box but pfsense wont recognize it. when i tried to assign it on the pfsense browser under the interface tab it just didnt have the add device icon. but when i tried to insert other pci card it reconized the card(lan card pci) and the add device icon appeared and i can easily set it up.
    so i decided to test the dlink out on another computer with windows 7 os , it worked although.

    what ive done for testing.

    board slot=ok
    wireless interface card=ok

    pfsense conflict= not sure, if driver or i need to do something else before the pfsense recognize it on the assign option under the interface tab.
    board and wireless interface card conflict= not sure, i have p4 machine

    thnx, i really need your help.

    pfsense is really awesome it really beats all the expensive routers in the market, thanks

        I don't see any support for that chipset in FreeBSD drivers, even on FreeBSD 10. It's too new product to have open source drivers for FreeBSD.
