General Questions

Is it possible to add a wireless networkcard and use the M0n0wall as a wifi-router to?
Just want to have one box that can handle everything (M0n0wall) and not two (m0n0wall + wifi-router).

If I could does it use WPA2 or just WEP?

Yes it is possible.  You need to have a WiFi card that is supported by FreeBSD though, so a slightly older one would be best.  There is greater support in the Beta version of Mono as it is based on FreeBSD 6.  I can't remember if it supports WPA2 though, so someone else might be able to answer this one.

Wonderful!

I should try my D-LINK DWA-547 and hope it works, the chip is supported but I dont think I get the n-draft technology to work.

I found this in FreeBSD hardwarenote

I dont find the list thay are talking about.


Is m0n0wall using freeBSD version 6.2 or older?


Does it exist a good list of Wlan PCI card that people use or coud someone give me some names on cards that work?
