Wireless ac support for pfSense - able to realize?
-
I found this article here and it might be imagine that there is now a WiFi ac support available in FreeBSD 11.1
which is the underlying OS in pfSense´s actual version 2.4.0.Could this working well or is it all a pipe dream? The supported Intel ac cards are cheap to get the hands on
and there are also several cards that are supported by the iwm(4) driver.I play with the thoughts to get a cheap one and test it out, but if others are reporting that this is not running
well for them I would be aware of this.EDIT:
Here is the missed link to the article I was talking about in the first lines above!

I was founding also another thread on reddit that the Intel wireless ac 8260 chip will be supported and running well.

I have some of the cards listed on that manpage working in a laptop install so I imagine they'd work on pfSense just as well.
Supported cards:
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3160<–- works for me
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 3165
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7260<--- works for me
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 7265
Intel Dual Band Wireless AC 8260The ones I don't have probably work too. The pfSense GUI might not have the code to deal with 802.11ac, but I don't have info on that.

Ah ok, I understand that this will be perhaps then the breaking point, thanks in advanced.
