thanks for trying to do a "remote shell" with me
what is in /tmp/sets/ # ls

 base-16.1.8-i386.obsolete
 kernel-16.1.8-i386.txz
 base-16.1.8-i386.txz

That's all. We don't have packages-* in this folder.

Here is the screenshot:

I noticed the screenshot says reusing base set 16.7.a files, so I to go in /tmp/sets/ and delete all of them then double check I do 'git checkout 16.1.8' and try again:

'make  base' passed
'make kernel' passed
'make ports' failed Error Code 1.

Unfortunately, same error.

@Aadolf, seems to give me the same error with or without TYPE=opnsense:
   root@:/usr/tools # make everything TYPE=opnsense
doesn't make and difference.

Development and Code Review / Starting with the Development

« on: April 04, 2016, 04:42:41 am »

MY BACKGROUND is that I am a .net programmer, good with major js libs, all sorts of patterns, done 2t, 3t projects, can do PHP on IIS. I know little about Perl and BSD. But I believe once I get over the initial environment barriers I can pick up quickly, I am willing to learn. So here I am!

MY GOALl is to replicate a speed limiter like this https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=68865.0. It has been written, so I don't have to start from scratch. It can be done the similar way as Hello World sample. It will end up being useful as it is one of the *Most Wanted* features.

MY BARRIERS are:

• How to setup a debuggable development environment? What debugger/method do we use?
• Where to find a list of available functions in API? Which folders/docs/links to look into?
• How to link my Perl code with the Hello World code? Sample to make Perl and PHP talking to each other?

Please throw me any development experience, help me to kick start my project Appreciated!

So I follow the build instructions at https://github.com/opnsense/tools cloned everything from git today. When I try to 'make everything'  it says failed at 'make ports' Error Code 1. So I don't get anything in '/tmp/images'.

Is it supposed to compile correctly when I get it from git? Or am I expecting errors from unfinished development? How do I compile a 'stable version'?

It could also be the chipset/driver as fabian suggested. Has this been tried with a FreeBSD 10.2 or did this work on the particular hardware before on OPNsense?

I have two of these TL-WN651G cards both worked on my two old win7 work stations before.
Thanks for your ref link. I am reading it.

An USB wireless stick was mentioned, also it is suggested to use an external AP for more an appropriate setup. But if possible I still like a PCI/PCI Express card.

It can be a driver issue

Want to ask you guys, what is the most commonly used inexpensive wireless card that works for OPNSense?

Could you tell me one or two commonly used models please?

@bartjsmit sorry should be 10.1.1.1, also tried 192.168.0.1

Please take a look at my configurations and guide me if I have done anything wrong? I assume the hardware is working fine, my OPNSense box can see surrounding WIFI networks from "Interfaces->Wireless->Status", and my laptop can detect the surrounding WIFI networks, but my laptop can't see my OPNSense box. Here are my settings.
