Hi there I've an ALIX board still doing its daily routing job on pfSense 2.2.4 where a MiniPCI card serves as simple AP. I recently swapped out the Atheros 802.11abg card for an AR9220-based Compex WLM200NX while I was upgrading to a faster CF card. Almost all settings from the previous card were imported properly (almost) all I had to select was the channel/frequency.
What happened was, that the card came up on the selected 5GHz channel, but since I had a (single) 2.4GHz client I had to switch back to 2.4Ghz for now. Now I realized that the card, even after applying the (several different) frequency settings, it stayed on the first 5GHz channel when checking ifconfig's output. The channel switching got applied after I had rebooted pfSense. Could anyone with a miniPCI(e) card confirm this behaviour? - Get a console on your pfSense box and get the output of ifconfig where for ath<X>_wlan<X> you can see the current channel. - In the UI switch to another frequency (maybe 2.4 -> 5 like myself) and apply the settings - Check the output of ifconfig again I'd be interested to know what you're seeing. Thanks, Mat _______________________________________________ pfSense mailing list https://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list Support the project with Gold! https://pfsense.org/gold
