      I am going to install pfSence on VirtualBox for the first time.
      I have collected until now a few tutorials and manuals from Internet, but still have troubles to get in to pfSence GUI.
      When I tiped 192.168.1.1 in my browser,  the log on window of my modem opens instead pfSence GUI.
      Supposingly I still do something wrong.
      I would very appreciate a link to approved grafical tutorial with first installation pfSence on VirtualBox.

        When I tiped 192.168.1.1 in my browser,  the log on window of my modem opens instead pfSence GUI.

        What could this stand for?
        192.168.1.1 is occupied by your modem. I assume that is also your router and default gateway.

        Go into the pfSense VM console and assign another free IP to LAN interface.  After, try to connect to this one.

          I am  running pfSence 2.1.5 with a TL-WN722N USB stick.
          But there are no ath9k_htc.ko driver in /boot/kernel/.

          From where can I get the driver?
          Do I also need the ath9k_common.ko and the ath9k_hw.ko?
          How did you do the driver install to pfsense?

          Thanks!

            ath9k is a Linux driver and pfSense is not Linux. The uath(4) driver is already in the kernel but doesn't support that chipset.
