Greetings! I've got a Netgate m1n1-2d13 firewall device[1] and for the most
part, it works great (wired that is.) Wireless on the other hand is
questionable at best. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The
wireless kit is [2]. pfSense 1.2.3-RELEASE sees the card just fine

I had my wireless working, my Sony TV was streaming Netflix for days, my
iPod was able to browse the internet as well as my android phone and
even my Debian laptop was working. Now, my TV can't associate, if it
does, it refuses to get an IP address from the DHCP server (which is
running)

[[email protected]]/root(8):
My iPod Touch and my Android phone are able to associate and get an IP
without any issues, but they cannot browse, I've confirmed this by being
able to browse my LAN from both devices but I am unable to get to
google.com for example, or anywhere else. I've also confirmed that my TV
never does get an IP as when trying to connect Wirelessly, it is unable
to get to my local webserver running on the same subnet as the DHCP
daemon.
So I am unsure what I missed, I'm pretty sure this is a configuration
issue with the firewall (basic details are below, if more is needed, by
all means ask).

If any other configuration details are required, please let me know and
I will provide them, but bear in mind, I don't know where/how pfSense
stores it's configuration files, The above data was typed manually from
the web interface.
