Title: Support for Intel Wireless-AC 9560
Post by: jsrober on December 07, 2019, 07:25:43 pm

Hi,

My OPNsense firewall is based on an ASUS ROG Strix H370-I.

This board includes an Intel Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak].

I'd like to use this wireless interface to set up an IoT wireless LAN to move all my IoT devices off my primary LAN.

Is it possible to make this wireless interface work with OPNsense? I had hoped by picking a popular, main-stream motherboard that hardware support would be fairly decent.

    device     = 'Wireless-AC 9560 [Jefferson Peak]'

Thanks,
John

Sorry John, 'fraid not: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.2R/hardware.html#wlan

FreeBSD is notoriously picky about WiFi and even more so for use as an AP

Supported by FreeBSD 13-CURRENT: https://github.com/bsdhw/Drivers/blob/master/freebsd/freebsd-current.list

It will be a part of future OPNsense releases.

ID of the card is 8086:a370.

Tested with current release, only works as client, not AP mode.
