      pfsense 1.2 with ath0 wireless
      ath0 is set:
        forced wpa2
        force AES
        force 11b/g-7

      I have a Linksys wireless bridge WET-200.
      This works fine connected to a Dlink WBR2310.
      I remove the Dlink router and want to use Pfsense.

      log shows constant connection problem

      A forum search indicated forcing the WPA2 and AES.  The problem happens with/without forced.
      I can connect a notebook wireless to the AP, and it stays connected.  The problem is this Linksys bridge.

        Could it be the same reason (EAPOL version) - http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,9333.0.html ?
