      Using the final 1.2 release.

      When I bridge WLAN (opt1) with LAN my client don't get an IP from the LAN DHCP server. 192.168.0.0/24 network
      When I don't bridge and set up a seperate network (192.168.1.0/24) and run a DHCP server on the WLAN interface it does work.

      But I wan't to use a bridge. Any ideas?

        I have this exact setup working.

        Did you bridge on both interfaces the other interface? (this is wrong)
        Did you create a rule on OPT that allows traffic?
        Did you set an IP for the OPT-interface? (this is wrong too)

        We do what we must, because we can.

          I did the following:

          On WLAN (OPT1):
          Bridge with: LAN
          Standard: 802.11g
          Mode: Access Point
          SSID: SkyNet2
          Enable WPA: Checked and entered a key

          I added a rules on the WLAN interface, any to any (all *'s).

            When I managed to figure out what the problem was, and it's not pfsense  8)

            My nokia N810 uses wifi power saving which it set to maximum by default. There is a know issue with connecting to Atheros based wifi cards. Setting the power saving to intermediate solved the problem.

            I also have a Fonera, which has the same Atheros chipset as my wifi card in my pfsense firewall, and it too has the same problems.
