      Hello! Please help me solve the issue with installing the driver for the network card. PFSENSE sees LAN network cards but refuses to identify the WLAN card. It doesn't work out how to install the driver. Please explain step by step how to install the driver. The wifi access point does not work without a WLAN card. The following cards are physically installed:
      ASUS PCE-N53 300Mbps 11n dual band Wireless PCI-E card
      Intel(R) PRO/100 M Desktop Adapter
      Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
      Intel(R) PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter

        It doesn't look like there is a driver for that. The only PCI driver for Ralink I can see is ral(4) and that doesn't support that chip:
