Dear List,
Happy New Year!
I just bought a Soekris 6501/50 with a 1 Slot Standard Case a few days ago and
would like to configure it as a Wireless Access Point to replace the failing
Linksys Wifi router I have now.
If possible i'd like to run PfSense as the OS and use a compatible wireless
card . Below is a list of options i've come across.
Wireless Card options:
1. Ubiquiti SR71-E PCI Card 802.11a/n 802.11b/g/n (802.11a/n 5GHz, 802.11b/g/n
2.4GHz)

Mini PCI-E to PCI-E adapter
MP2A with ANT2458Q5P (2.4/5.8GHz Rubber Duck Antenna)

2. Atheros AR9280 AR5BDT92 PCIe Desktop WLAN Card & Lenovo Antenna

Will the setup I've described worked well? If not, would it be best to not add
a wireless card at all and just get off the shelf Wireless router (such as the
Linksys E2500) and connect it directly to the Soekris.
Look forward to people's comments.
regards
Robert
