      Hi all,

      I've been pretty happy with pfSense (daily embedded builds, live dangerously!) on PC Engines' ALIX boards in my lab.

      Now, the lab boards' function is basically to act as a bit-pusher for some experiments I'm running while evaluating vendor hardware.  One of them, though, is about to get repurposed as a captive portal for visitors to the office, since I'm sick of dealing with people who don't have WPA2-capable drivers on their laptop.  Besides, I want to keep guests outside of our security perimeter.

      So I'm looking for specific recommendations for radio cards.  Netgate has a bunch of choices; I'd like A/B, don't care that much about G (A for speed, B for least common denominator)…  of the ones listed at http://www.netgate.com/index.php?cPath=26_34 can anyone make some specific recommendations for cards that work well or cards to stay away from?

      Thanks a bunch,

      -r

        Usually cards based on Atheros chipsets work flawlessly. It is the most recommended name I hear all around.
