      Hey guys,

      first post. I haven't been able to find anything about this card in the forums, and its not mentioned on the supported hardware list.
      Will this work with the latest build?

      Basically what I am after is a good dual band card to fit in one of these (ALIX 2D13):
      http://linitx.com/product/alix-2d13-system-board-lx800-256mb-ram-3-lan-minipci-usb-rtc-battery/12519

      so if anyone has any suggestions that are compatible that would be great if this one won't work.

      here is a link to the card:
      http://www.broadcom.com/products/Wireless-LAN/802.11-Wireless-LAN-Solutions/BCM4322

      and I'm gonna buy it from here:

      thanks, any help will be most appreciated.

        I suggest you ask Linitx or PCEngines (http://pcengines.ch) to recommend a dualband Atheros based card that will work with pfSense. PCEngines have a number of Atheros based cards for sale.

        Atheros based cards support AccessPoint mode in pfSense. I don't think Broadcom based cards do.

          I don't think any of the -N stuff works with FreeBSD. Also would strongly recommend sticking with Atheros. Using this one and it works great as an indoor AP.
