23.7 Legacy Series / Added wifi card mediatek mt7921 but no deviced shown up in wireless section
« on: August 27, 2023, 08:24:31 am »
Hello,
I added a mediatek mt7921 wifi m.2 adapter to my j3455itx board but there is no available devices in the web gui
interfaces -> wireless -> devices -> (click add) -> Parent interface (nothing selected) drop down menu contains nothing,
Pci dump shows in the relevant section the device is 'none2'
The driver I used is from freebsd repo after editing /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
https://www.freshports.org/net/wifi-firmware-mt76-kmod/
Any ideas how to make the wifi adapter available in opnsense?
Is it possible for the opnsense team to add the wifi firmware to opnsense package repo?
Thanks in advance.
