Hardware and Performance / Another PC Engines APU2 question - Atheros AR5008 chipset support
« on: October 09, 2018, 08:56:44 am »
I bought an APU2 a couple of years ago but never actually set it up. I decided to give it a go with opnsense. It detects the 3 network ports on the front of the box, but not the wireless device. I can't see any more than the 3 ethernet ports in the interface assignment tab, and when I attempt to clone a wireless interface the drop-down is blank.
When I do a pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network I can see the following:
I know this is an older card...but I was hoping a simple driver install or conf tweak could get me in business. If that is not an option and this card is simply not supported by FreeBSD 11.1 ...What minipci card should I get? I am not opposed to picking up another card to replace this one.
thanks for the help!
