I run PFsense 1.2 on an embedded alix board, and use the extra OPT1
port to run my wireless. Rather than order a wireless add-on, I use a
Linksys WRT54GL running either sveasoft or DD-WRT firmware (with DHCP
turned off) as a wireless bridge. This has proven to be very stable,
as well as giving me increased flexibility in terms of mounting the
wireless unit.
The aftermarket router firmwares allow virtual wireless interfaces.
Stable + flexible.

Hi All,
Apologies if this capability already exists and I have just
missed it...
Are there any plans to implement virtual wireless interfaces in
pfSense,
thus allowing one to define multiple wireless networks that share
a single
physical interface.
Funny you should ask today.
Support for this was committed to FreeBSD earlier today:
http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.cvs.src/browse_thread/
thread/b0699e78c85f98da#
" Multi-bss (aka vap) support for 802.11 devices. "
To FreeBSD HEAD/8.0. I don't believe this will ever be in 7.x, so it
won't be in pfSense 1.3. But the version after that will have it.
