Right chipset still not working, why?

Linux firewalls make me crazy, they cannot have more than one LAN interface, WTF!
I tried IPfire and smoothwall and give up before finish set up, they support only one "green" port and cannot change many things in the webfig, that means I have to connect a keyboard and monitor EVERY time I change those settings. They don't even have a console menu like pfsense.

Professional-level firewalls typically don't have wireless adapters. Professionals use purpose-built access points, not USB dongles.
Thanks. But I prefer a wireless interface because I don't want another node that have to manage/wire up.
You might be better off with a linksys then.

I'm using Linksys now.
I just want to change a flavor. -
OK I just ordered a EW-7711UMn which is RT3070, hope it works.
Also I find this
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ndisgen&sektion=8
So I can use windows driver in FreeBSD and pf? Is it able for me to do it myself? I'm not so familiar with UNIX and CLI… -
Yeah good luck with that.
I really don't understand why people insist on beating their heads against this particular wall.
Just get a damn AP.
You'd be happier just using the linksys you already have.

If your OK with 2.3 nightly's it should work. I have one and need to check. My RT5572/5592 works with the RT3071 rom.
Mikrotik Mini-PCI(not e) A/B/G card based on Atheros,
These work good but board must support 5-7W draw. Not all do well.
If you read Adriand blog post i linked to you will see there is no working UBS sticks that do 802.11n.*In FreeBSD
-
can either use PCI(no E), or use a PCI to miniPCI adapter
Absolutely. The china/ebay PCI adapters work. Routerboard actually makes one but it is EOL…
edit: Here is one. I see them on ebay too Rb11

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with NDIS.
A wrapper around a windows driver. No thanks. -
Thank you very much phishfry, I'll wait for my edimax dongle, if that don't work, I'll buy the mikrotik PCI adapter.
But still feel strange my buffalo not working, it's a RT3071. -
By the time you're done you still won't have decent Wifi and you could have bought a ubnt.com unifi UAP-Pro instead.
-
Also be advised that most of those Mikrotik MiniPCI cards require MCX antenna pigtails.

I just tested another RaLink USB adapter I have RT5370. It worked in pfSense 2.3alpha as run0 in hostapd mode with RT3071 rom. It only offers 802.11G and is only single chain or 1T1R aka 150M.
I bought these for the ARM boards I have been messing with.
-
I am finding it connects faster, probably due to external antenna. It also has no 802.11a mode either.
