I tried now with a Linksys PCI WiFi card, and it works, I set up it in AP mode, but it doesnt work as AP, its visible, I can conect to it, it provides IP via DHCP, but no routing and is not possible to connect to PFsense BOX by this interface, this is the configuration:

  • <opt1><descr>WiFi</descr>
      <if>ral0</if>
  • <wireless><standard>11g</standard>
      <mode>hostap</mode>
      <protmode>off</protmode>
      <ssid>PF</ssid>
      <channel>1</channel>
      <authmode><txpower>99</txpower>
      <distance>- <wpa><macaddr_acl><auth_algs>1</auth_algs>
      <wpa_mode>2</wpa_mode>
      <wpa_key_mgmt>WPA-PSK</wpa_key_mgmt>
      <wpa_pairwise>CCMP TKIP</wpa_pairwise>
      <wpa_group_rekey>60</wpa_group_rekey>
      <wpa_gmk_rekey>3600</wpa_gmk_rekey>
      <passphrase>12345678</passphrase>
      <ext_wpa_sw><enable></enable></ext_wpa_sw></macaddr_acl></wpa></distance></authmode></wireless>
      <enable><spoofmac><ipaddr>172.27.101.1</ipaddr>
      <subnet>24</subnet></spoofmac></enable></opt1>

I don't have any ral cards to try to see what might be triggering that, and report it upstream to get fixed. If someone would like to contribute a card to the cause, email me (cmb at pfsense dot org).

Does this same card work in pfSense 1.2.3?

Unfortunately there isn't much that pfSense can do about driver issues, as the drivers are a part of FreeBSD.

I don't think anyone has gotten around to adding dumpdev/textdump support to 2.0 yet. I meant to a month or so ago but got sidetracked.

Or only catch the output via serial? Its maybe off topic, but nice to know… Thanks

I have the same problem, there is a console error:

ral0: need multicast update callback
..
rt2561fw: could not load firmware image…

Do you found a solution?
