:) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pfsense+essentials+book+jeremy+c.+reed >From its preface: <para> This book was written using Docbook using NetBSD and vi. The print-ready book was generated with Dblatex version 0.3.10 with a custom stylesheet, pdfTeX 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (Web2C 2018), and the TeX document production system installed via Tex Live and Pkgsrc. ... I have probably used around eight different wireless cards on a few different hardwares running a few different versions of pfSense. While it works for me, I haven't had great reliability or performance with the wireless devices I've used there. I'd like to use NetBSD. But I have received some great feedback and shared experiences about using a non-NetBSD wireless gear. I will probably use NetBSD as my gateway/firewall and bridge to a dedicated wifi device. Unless I can find a "a suitable wireless card that performs well in hostap mode on NetBSD" (quoting from someone else in this thread).
