[SOLVED] Wireless support in OpnSense
«

I have an APU1D4 with a Compex WLE200NX wireless card.
Running pfSense on this device is great but wireless is not working as it supposed to.
Therefor I'm looking for alternatives and came across OpnSense.
Can someone please tell me if support for wireless (especially the Compex WLE200NX --> Atheros AR9280) is any good in OpnSense?
In pfSense I had a lot of errors: "kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)"
It resulted in wireless speeds not stable, iPhones not keeping their wifi signal.
Thanks in advance.

I would have thought that if it runs with pfSense then it would most likely run with OPNsense, I'd also guess that you need to expand on your comment about "...wireless is not working as it supposed to" - what exactly is the problem(s) you're having?

Thanks for the reply.
I have put info about the problem in the last 2 sentences of my thread:
"In pfSense I had a lot of errors: "kernel: ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)"
It resulted in wireless speeds not stable, iPhones not keeping their wifi signal."
These are the main problems I'm having.

This ath(4) driver issue can only be solved with FreeBSD 11, which isn't in production yet. Shawn Webb is working on a HardenedBSD/OPNsense version that incorporates this new FreeBSD version early.

Ok, thanks. For the time being I'll be using an external Wifi AP than.
