I purchased AzureWave AW-CB161H PCI-E WiFi Card (802.11a/b/g/n/ac & BT 4.0) for my box.

FreeBSD 12.1 list the RTL8821A supported with Kernel driver  RTWN(4).

Once its physical installed, do I need to install drivers or tweak BIOS? Or this this just plug & play (pray)?

Lastly is there any documentation on configuring OPNsense for the new wifi card?

Kind Regards

might run the HWProbe plugin to check the results and see if it is supported.  I have an odd wifi card that currently is supported in 12.2 or possibly 13 (FreeBSD).. so it might be a bit before i can use it.
