<![CDATA[Pfsense box as an access point?]]>Ok, I know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to do this on my own.

I have a wifi card in my pfsense box as opt1, I renamed it to wifi, and bridged it to my LAN.

What more do I have to do to make a wireless computer pick up a connection to the internet from my pfsense box?

I guess I should pick up one of these atheros cards I've seen mentioned around here.

Are you sure you did assign the card as a OPT? (Interfaces –> assign)

I was looking over a few other threads, and saw a pic of the opt interface menu, which showed "wireless configuration"

If I don't see that on my opt ports, that means pfsense doesn't recognize my wifi card as a wireless device, is that correct?
