Fair enough
I guess that makes sense Many thanks, Joe _____ From: Sean Cavanaugh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 December 2006 12:29 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] SuperG Atheros Chipset most off the shelf routers are too small hardware wise to support pfsense. they will usually only have 8-32 megs of flash whereas pfsense needs 128 megs minimum. Also lot lower memory onboard. that and most of them are based on different processor types than what pfSense can run on. so quick answer, no it will not work on them. -Sean _____ Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:56:08 +0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Subject: FW: [pfSense Support] SuperG Atheros Chipset Hi everyone, Heres another question Does anyone know whether there are ways to install pfSense to any of the off-the-shelf wireless routers in the way you can with OpenWRT ? Cheers, Joe _____ From: Joseph (Joe) Lynn Sent: 07 December 2006 09:58 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [pfSense Support] SuperG Atheros Chipset Hi all, Many thanks to everyone for their replies As far as I can see now, from reading around and checking these messages, etc, it looks like most 108 atheros cards are supported at least in static turbo mode, whilst the super G extensions are not. Im not sure if this will be too much of a problem Now Im thinking, as far as I can tell, theres no reason why I couldnt just configure the wpa_supplicant.conf file by hand to authenticate against a radius server using EAP-TLS, is there? Cheers, Joe _____ From: Espen Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 December 2006 23:09 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] SuperG Atheros Chipset Forgot this in my last reply, Turbo mode is also part of the "Super" functions in the atheros chips: Super G/Super AG mode includes dynamic 108 Mbps capability, real-time hardware data compression, Fast Frames and standards-compliant bursting. The reason I only mentioned Turbo is because the rest is normally enabled if the card is capable of super modes. -lsf On 12/5/06, Carlos Rosário <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Turbo Mode uses channel width of 40mhz while normal operation uses 20mhz and every single channel takes 5mhz. This is why Turbo Mode is not a good thing in the 802.11b/g networks, since the 2,4ghz band is already very populated, and that's the reason I think the developer of the driver in FreeBSD didn't include Turbo Mode in 802.11g operations. SuperG is a different thing, it's a set of features to optimize communication Compression, Fast Frames and Packet Bursting. I don't know if all of theses features are present in the FreeBSD driver. _____ From: Espen Johansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: terça-feira, 5 de Dezembro de 2006 16:51 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [pfSense Support] SuperG Atheros Chipset To enable trubo mode check the turbo button, speed is still selected up to 54mbit, only difference is that with turbo enabled all speeds are 2x whatever speed you choose. Se the wiki for more info on manual ifconfig settings: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=Wireless WPA2 is not fully implemented at the time, you can look at the generated hostapd/wpasupplicant config for more info. Also refer to the manpages for hostapd and wpa_supplicant. -lsf On 12/4/06, Joseph (Joe) Lynn < <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi everyone, Congrats on a great product I was wondering about wireless I'm using the ath(4) driver for an Atheros 5212 card. I notice that in the man page for the ath driver, it states that:- "AR5212-based devices support 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g operation with transmit speeds appropriate to each. All chips also support an Atheros Turbo Mode (TM) that operates in the 5Ghz frequency range with 2x the transmit speeds. Some chips also sup- port Turbo mode in the 2.4Ghz range with 802.11g. (These modes are, how- ever, only interoperable with other Atheros-based devices.) " Is there a way to enable the SuperG functionality within pfSense, outside of the GUI? Also, if I want to enable the 802.11x to use WPA2 Enterprise, how do I configure the EAP side of things within the GUI? Or does it have to be done at the command line?
