      Hi!
      I'm using pfsense as wireless AP i have two wifi cards and one lan, now I need to install one more wifi card but I don't have free slots for it, is it possible to replace lan card with wifi card?
      Will my system boot if I remove lan card? I have to remind that PC is located on a platform (30m), and I can't connect monitor easely, neither upgrade it with another board.

      Any solution for this?
      Thnx!

        Yes, go ahead and replace the card and boot pfSense.  It should complain about a interface mismatch.  If i it does not then simply reasssign the interfaces and reboot.
