Zotac ZBOX CI323 nano replace WIFI card
-
Hello,
The wifi card in the Zotac ZBOX CI323 nano is an Intel 3160 in NGFF M.2 format.
But this card seems to not be supported by pfsense.
I read few post on freeBSD forum about iwm but it seems that it's not really stable.So, what about replacing this Intel wifi card by an Atheros QCNFA344A ?
It's the same form factor, and Atheros wifi chipset is better supported by pfsense than intel wifi chipset.Anybody already did the swap ?
Regards.

I would stay on 802.11n chipsets. There is a newer ath10k in the works but it is not done yet.
I would buy this: QCNFA222-AR5BWB222
Do note they come in different M.2 key arrangements so look hard at your existing module and match them up. -

Thank you, FranciscoFranco!
