      Hi community, please give me help.

      I tried installing Pfsense in motherboard Asrock Pv530A, but i have troubles by Pfsense detecting the Network Card Encore PCI ENLWI-G2 (WiFi).
      I tried installing other Network Card PCI 5185-6408 (Ethernet).

      The internal network card of the motherboard detect success, but why Pfsense not detected the others PCI network card?

      I installing by pfSense-memstick-2.2.4-RELEASE-i386-20150725-1956 in a USB Memory.

      Thanks for your help.

      Greetings from Mexico!

        When it's not detected, it's not supported. (Show us dmesg output and pciconf -lv, perhaps…) FreeBSD is a horrible choice for wireless, get a proper AP.

              Search for the IP in the IPv4 list.

              If it shows there, then you can track it by country afterwards.

                    Talking about wifi support here. As you have noticed, pfSense install itself is not any problem.

                      Thanks for your help.

                      I haved to change the PCI Adapter.

                      Actually I used a USB Wireless Adapter and run perfectly.

                      Only I have a doubt. How I connect the Wireless Card to my Wireless Network in Pfsense 2.2.4?

                      i cant find where introduce the Password for the Network.
