Intel wifi

[buzzra]

Hi, This is my first OPNSense install. I have a motherboard with an on board Intel mini PCIe wifi card. It is not showing up in the web interface.
I ran the following commands and I don't see the driver loaded, but I do see it in the PCI bus dump, at the very bottom:

How do I get the drivers loaded for it?

Thanks for the help! I'm loving OPNSense so far!

OPNsense's underlying FreeBSD OS does not have as much support for WiFi cards as Linux or Windows.

Your dump is showing four ethernet devices. I would advise you run an AP from one of these to provide WiFi.

Hi buzz,
Bart is right. Due the bad wireless driver support use an external AP for Wifi if it possibe anyway!

But you can try to get your wifi device to work.  ;)
I've seen an 'Wireless 7260'-Device into yout dump. The intel 7260 should supported by the iwm driver (https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwm&sektion=4).
I don't know if the iwm-driver supports AP-mode! Into the man page there is no such hint, so i expect that the iwm devices only work as wifi client!

Take a look into Wireless -> Devices into the gui. Is there anything shown like 'iwm' into the devices section?
Try to add a new wireless clone uses 'iwm'. After that you can assign the interface into Interfaces -> Assignements.

best regards
