its an edmax pci express wifi card

Here you have a List of supported cards, check if your card is supported & if the "mode" ( AP or Client ) that you want to use is supported.

hmmm dont really know what im looking at there!! its the edimax ew-7612pin card i've bought. should of looked at the list before i bought maybe!
-
Edimax ew 7612pin uses a realtek chipset not sure the model number, suggest you install in a windows machine to find out the model number or look closely at the card.

As best I have been able to tell FreeBSD (and hence pfSense) doesn't support AP mode on the Realtek chip(s) that are supported.

can anyone recommend a good wi fi card for pf?
-
I've had good results with
USB: Tenda W311U (run driver) and TP-Link TL-WN321G (rum driver)
PCI: TP-Link TL-WN651G (ath driver)which all operate in AP mode.

anyone have a link for a good one wi fi card that would work from ebuyer.co.uk? (not being lazy already bought one from there that didnt work) cheers
