Title: Can anybody help me get wireless working on Netgate SG2440? Feel pretty clueless
Post by: vocatus on May 21, 2017, 06:17:24 pm

I have a Netgate SG-2440 running latest OPNSense 17.1 series.

Cannot for the life of me get wireless working. Radios are on, SSID assigned, etc but the network simply never shows up to any devices.

Is wireless broke in OPNSense (pfsense wireless support is no better..) or am I missing something obvious?

Hi there,

You got help from Netgate:

If would assume wireless is not broken for any project, problems revolve around driver support and hardware capabilities. In this case try the suggested coreboot update. :)


Cheers,
Franco

Hi Franco, thank-you for your reply. How do I apply the coreboot update? The linked PDF seems to be corrupted and I can't get it to load in Firefox, Reader DC, or Chrome.

Franco, I finally founds some time to read through the notes. Unfortunately there are no instructions for performing the update, only a list of release notes. Do you know of a location to find the instructions?

Hi Vocatus,

There was more chatter on Twitter about this from Netgate, not sure why they don't simply contact you or post here...
