      As you can see I'm a total n00b plese overlook that.

      I have a dell 1735 laptop with a wifi card built in.

      pfsense sees it but I cant use it. I get a firmware error on the screen.

      I can however us the built in lan port to configure it.

      I want to use this setup with my home hotspot device feeding to my network.

      so I want this pfsense box to pickup my hotspot and the lan to take it to my network.

      please help!
