      I'm looking for a good wireless network card to put in my PFsense box.

      First I was looking for the Asus PCE-AC68 whitch has a Broadcom chip in it, but then I found the compatibility list and saw that there was no support for Hostap.

      Is there anybody who could advise me for a good wireless network card. I'd really like to support AC and 2.4/5 GHZ dual band. To make sure that it's featureproof

      Thanks

        To be honest, if you want good wifi why would you not just get a real AP..

        You mention
        http://www.amazon.com/Dual-Band-Wireless-AC1900-PCI-E-Adapter-PCE-AC68/dp/B00F42V83C

        That is 95$  You could buy a unifi UPA-AC-Lite for the same price..

        Now you can properly place your AP for the best coverage vs being where your pfsense is…

        Just my 2 cents..
