RT2860 WiFi support?
-
Hello,
I've managed to install pfsense 2.3.4.
Everything seems to be working correctly expect for the wireless.
It is using a RT2860 card.
I've searched the forums but everything seems to be from about 5 years ago on this chipset…Wifi is able to be enabled but is very unstable, android devices get "Denied access to network" after being able to connect once, apple/laptop devices get random discount/data flow issues.
Is this card supported with this version of Pfsense? Are there other drives available for this wifi card, or should I look to find another wifi card to use? -
It is supported but with caveats:

No other drivers that I'm aware of, the manufacturer RaLink doesn't offer any FreeBSD drivers of their own as far as I know.
I would instead go for an external AP such as one of the entry level models from Ubiquiti:
