16.7 Legacy Series / Qualcomm Atheros NFA222 (AR9462) M.2 NGFF

Can anyone tell me how to get my Wifi working using this card.

PRIMARY PROBLEM:

I've tried it in Opnsense v16.7 / v17.1 and both detect the card and allow me to effectively configure it the same way I can configure my existing USB WiFi dongle, but the Atheros M.2 card itself is not producing any WiFi signal for any of my devices to see. I'm also receiving the following errors in my log.

I'm also getting the following error in my logs non stop, which I'm assuming is related to the fault.:

Again, the card is:

- Qualcomm Atheros QCNFA222 | PPD-QCNFA222 | Foxconn | NGFF| 168c0034 | abgn |   Atheros AR9462

General Discussion / Opnsense Fails To Install On Gigabyte GA-N3150N-D3V Motherboard (Solved)

« on: September 12, 2016, 08:35:32 pm »

I'm currently running pfsense version 2.3 stable, which has been great.  Today I decided that I would try out pfsense latest version 2.4 alpha (Experimental) and while I'm at it give Opnsense a try for the first time.

I tried the following installation images of Opnsense in case one had a feature preventing my installation from completing:

- OPNsense-16.7-OpenSSL-vga-amd64.img
- OPNsense-16.7-OpenSSL-vga-i386.img

- OPNsense-16.7-OpenSSL-serial-amd64.img
- OPNsense-16.7-OpenSSL-serial-i386.img

And during my USB installation using each of those images the installation halts and the last thing it says on the screen is this:

WARNING: attempt to domain_add(bluetooth) after domainfinalize()
WARNING: attempt to domain_add(netgraph) after domainfinalize()

My system meets all of the requirements of the recommended hardware specification to run this platform, but I seem to be getting this error over and over again before I can even get to a point that i can install Opnsense; its not looking good so far.

Any ideas why this keeps happening, I've never seen this before ...
