If you're using pfSense 2.0.1 (FreeBSD 8.2 based IIRC) you'll find the best compatibility with Atheros cards that do b/g or a/b/g only (no a/b/g/n) using the AR5004 chipset. I believe updated chipset support for the newer a/b/g/n cards is in FreeBSD 9.x but pfSense isn't there yet.
One card that I've personally used in a 4501 with FreeBSD 8.x is the following: http://store.netgate.com/5004-MP-ATHEROS-4G-CM9-80211abg-miniPCI-Card-P125C26.aspx -Proto On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 5:58 PM, ghda...@netzero.net <ghda...@netzero.net> wrote: > I just became a proud owner of a net5501.
