I have a similar setup but no bridging going on (never tried that, not real comfortable bridging WiFi onto LAN - security ... and no, not pfSense security). All detected and worked well without complication. I use a Netgear WAG311 (Atheros based) and just create a zone for dedicated WiFi users (AP setup), and add rules to allow/deny WAN>WiFi, WiFi>LAN and LAN>WiFi comms (or whatever granularity you need). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
