None2@pci - missing wireless device

wifiuk

i have recently got a new box to put my pfsense on (moving from an old pc to a dedicated box)

anyway the all in one box, like the SG-2440 has an inbuilt wireless card

when i run

pciconf -l -v

i can see the device as

none2@pci0:4:0:0 blah blah etc

But i can't see this at all anywhere in the pfsense GUI, how do i add this as the wireless interface?

IIRC , the wireless card is 802.11ac, assuming this might be a driver problem?

That means there is no driver available for that card.

You can try a 2.4 snapshot, but it's possible that there is no driver for FreeBSD at all, or perhaps that it isn't present in our builds.

Do you know what make/model card that is, specifically? If you post the full "pciconf -lvb" output for it, the card and chipid should let you find what it is.

there are a few none@

but the none2@pci is as follows:-


none2@pci0:4:0:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x00708086 chip=0x08b38086 rev=0x83 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Wireless 3160'
    class      = network
    bar   [10] = type Memory, range 64, base 0xf7900000, size 8192, enabled

We don't have a driver for that one, but it may make it into 2.4.x at some point: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7725

just updated, still not supported :(

fingers crossed in a future build….
