Betreff: [pfSense Support] wlan problems
I am using and intel 2200bg wireless network card (mini pci). It gets
recognized by pfSense as iwi0, but it is always down. When configuring
it I am bridging it to my lan card. The channel never gets set to
anything other then 1, I tried auto and 2-4. Also tried manually setting
an ip address, but doesnt show when running ifconfig iwi0. I am using a
Wrap.1E-2.
Here is the output of ifconfig iwi0:
$ ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8902<BROADCAST,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::212:f0ff:fe4d:2ecf%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b
(autoselect)
status: no carrier
ssid 1louder channel 1
authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode OFF
here is the section from my config.xml:

Any help here is appreciated.
