Wireless Atheros card config?
-
Hi there,
I am planning to install an atheros wireless card. Do the wireless settings magically appear after I insert my mini-pci card into my alix board or do I need to install any additional packets?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
James -
Just install the card, boot up, go to Interfaces, assign and add the new interface.
Then go to Interfaces, OPT2 (or whatever) and configure it. -
Thanks for that info. So the configuration like ssid and encryption do magically show up…
I love pfSense ;) -
It actually checks behind the scenes and displays the additional configuration options if the interface is wireless. So, yeah, it's more or less magic.

Now the card is working but I see lots of Errors. Is this normal? What can I do? It is an atheros card…
See the attached screenshot...

If it seems to be working fine, don't worry about it. You can find many posts about this in the wireless forum- my experience is that you can see huge amounts of in errors without having a problem.
