APU2, pfsense 2.3.4 and WLE200NX / AR9280

Hello :)

I try to add wireless to my APU2 (pfsense 2.3.4). But the wirelesscard (WLE200NX / AR9280) insn't listed in the pfsense-webinterface.

Ifconfig -a doesn't show the card (ath0).

But it's here listed:


pciconf -lv
...
one2@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x003c168c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Qualcomm Atheros'
    device     = 'QCA986x/988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter'
    class      = network

There is written, that the wirelesscard is supporte: http://pcengines.info/forums/?page=post&id=54E788A4-636C-4D7F-B0DE-D1F798B7DD2F

Any ideas waht's the problem?

Thank you very much!

That is not a WLE200NX or AR9280. A proper 9280 card is supported OK but is only 802.11a/b/g/n

That appears to be a newer 802.11ac card which is not yet supported.

You might try a 2.4 snapshot but I wouldn't count on it working yet.

You are right. I bought the wrong card. :(

Thank you for the fast answer.
