      Hi,

      I know that BSD 7.x doesn't really support 802.11N, but I was wondering if pfSense 2.0 supports any PCI N cards that would be suitable for a small home/office deployment.

      Thanks!

        Not really. There are very few N cards properly supported by FreeBSD. I'm not sure if any of them have fully working N-speed rate control.

        Some Atheros N cards will work, but at G speeds.

        Here is a list of what we have now:

        Though I do see that the bwn(4) driver snuck into FreeBSD 8.1 so we might be able to add that in. (But it only works as a client, not an access point)
