Hello,
I have brought a new wifi card to my Opensense box. The card is "TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900 Wireless". The problem is I cant get this card to recognise in opnsense. When I go "interfaces -> Wireless -> Devices" I cant see any devices even if I click add button.
The "pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network" show the card
vmx0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x07b015ad chip=0x07b015ad rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VMware'
device = 'VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller'
class = network
--
vmx1@pci0:11:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x07b015ad chip=0x07b015ad rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VMware'
device = 'VMXNET3 Ethernet Controller'
class = network
--
none2@pci0:19:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x061914e4 chip=0x43a014e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Limited'
device = 'BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter'
class = network
viewing the "/var/run/dmesg.boot" I noticed "pci5: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)":

I also tryed to set if_oce_load="YES" to "/boot/loader.conf.local" and rebooted but still nothing shows up also when trying to load bwi driver(https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bwi&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports) still dmesg.boot shows same(no driver attached).
Is there something other I can try do get this card to work? Or should I return this card and order something else altru I really wold like to get this to work to avoid time delays whit new shipping ...
I hope some one can help me to figure this out.
--UPDATE--
In version 15.1.11 Opensense removed bwi-firmware-kmod. If I underestand correct the bwi driver needs it to work correctly (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bwi&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+11.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=default&format=html)
I cloned opensense ports (https://github.com/opnsense/ports) repo to firewall and also Freebsd kernel sources
fetch -o /tmp ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/`uname -s`/releases/`uname -m`/`uname -r | cut -d'-' -f1,2`/src.txz
tar -C / -xvf /tmp/src.txz
and tryed to compile it but got error
