Right chipset still not working, why?
-
If your OK with 2.3 nightly's it should work. I have one and need to check. My RT5572/5592 works with the RT3071 rom.
Mikrotik Mini-PCI(not e) A/B/G card based on Atheros,
These work good but board must support 5-7W draw. Not all do well.
If you read Adriand blog post i linked to you will see there is no working UBS sticks that do 802.11n.*In FreeBSD

can either use PCI(no E), or use a PCI to miniPCI adapter
Absolutely. The china/ebay PCI adapters work. Routerboard actually makes one but it is EOL…
edit: Here is one. I see them on ebay too Rb11

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with NDIS.
A wrapper around a windows driver. No thanks. -
Thank you very much phishfry, I'll wait for my edimax dongle, if that don't work, I'll buy the mikrotik PCI adapter.
But still feel strange my buffalo not working, it's a RT3071. -
By the time you're done you still won't have decent Wifi and you could have bought a ubnt.com unifi UAP-Pro instead.

Also be advised that most of those Mikrotik MiniPCI cards require MCX antenna pigtails.

I just tested another RaLink USB adapter I have RT5370. It worked in pfSense 2.3alpha as run0 in hostapd mode with RT3071 rom. It only offers 802.11G and is only single chain or 1T1R aka 150M.
I bought these for the ARM boards I have been messing with.

I am finding it connects faster, probably due to external antenna. It also has no 802.11a mode either.
