      Hello,

      I've installed Pfsense and my Intel 5100 is not detected. I read I need to agreed with license. I put this on my loader.conf.local (even in loader.conf)

      legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1

      But In wifi config I have None parent interface :(

      Any Idea ?

      Ty

        Intel 5100

        that card work only as client and not as AP, do you realy need it working?
        anyway
        i think you need also

        if_iwn_load="YES"

        inside loader.conf.local

        try from console to load the module

        kldload if_iwn

        post here what you have with

        ifconfig -a
dmesg | grep iwn 
pciconf -lv.

        check if the driver is attached . i don't have a wireless card right now but you should see something like

        iwn0@pci0:2:0:0:    class=0x028000 card=0x82708086 chip=0x08b48086 rev=0x93 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Intel Corporation'
    device     = 'Wireless 5100'
