Hello all!
We have an opnsense router with an old wifi card, it works fine but it is slow (2.4 Ghz).
Today, I want to replace my old card with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 card (I want to use 5Ghz wifi 8) ). This card is fully operational on the linux router.
I checked the freebsd documentation and this card is supported: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?iwn but, when I install the wifi card, my router does not see the interface.
I added the drivers in "/usr/local/etc/rc.loader.d/20-modules".
...
if_iwn_load="YES"
iwn6000fw_load="YES"
iwn6000g2afw_load="YES"
iwn6000g2bfw_load="YES"
iwn6050fw_load="YES"
When i launch "kldstat" i see driver
root@opnsense:~# kldstat

When i want to check sysctl, output is empty :
root@opnsense:~# sysctl -n net.wlan.devices
My router information :
Versions OPNsense 22.7.4-amd64
FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE-p2
LibreSSL 3.3.6
Do you know why my router not recognize wifi card ?
Regards,

WiFi is notoriously poor on FreeBSD and even then mostly runs in client mode, not AP. Also, the best place for your firewall is rarely the best place for AP coverage.
Most here run separate WiFi infra, I would guess.
