      Hey all,
      My building provides very robust wireless. I would like to use the wireless card in my PFsense box to connect to the buildings wireless AP and then flow that access to my internal network. I have no intention of using pfsense as a AP but rather as a bridge to my wired internal lan.

      I am using fully supported Atheros radios and I am able to see all the wireless AP's in my building via the status page for wireless in pfsense but what doesnt seem to work is associating my Pfsense box with the buildings AP. I have set the interface BSS infrastructure mode and adjusted the SID and settings to match the buildings AP, still no association love.

      Is this a stable thing to do with PFsense?
