      trying to setup Alfa AWUS036NH as AP in 2.0 but looks like driver is not supported:

      Apr 1 11:16:09 php: /interfaces.php: Cloning new wireless interface urtw0_wlan0
      Apr 1 11:16:09 php: /interfaces.php: Failed to clone interface urtw0 with error code 1, output ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Operation not supported
      Apr 1 11:16:09 kernel: urtw0: HOSTAP mode not supported

      I wish this could work with 2.0 :(

      Thank You

        FreeBSD doesn't support Access Point (AP) mode on your wireless NIC, see the FreeBSD urtw manpage. Buy one that supports AP mode, e.g. Tenda W311U or TP-LInk TL-WN321G, supported by run and rum drivers respectively. Both of these use Ralink chipsets. It appears there are a number of other brands and models using the same chipsets.

                  Try enabling encryption: WPA2/AES and/or apbridge.

                  I had to temporarily take my "rum0" out of service to use in another machine. It looks line your configuration differs from the one I was using in those two parameters.

                    thank you for help

                    any way does not work :(  Easier was pluging WRT54G to DMZ and this way works ….... I believe the only way is buying some wifi card that is already checked with pfsense 2.0 and approved by forum.

                    thank you
