I have 3 miniPCI WLAN cards but no one worked in 1.8.1 m0n0wall.
Intel2100,Intel 2200 and Ralink RT2561ST. Log reports missing firmware and I don`t know what can I do.
I have other Ralink USB WLAN stick and it`s working.

M0n0wall documentation is obsolete and there is too little information about WLAN.
Exists list of supported/tested WLAN cards?

Is the Ralink card in this list?

iwi (the Intel 22xx) and ipw (Intel 2100) devices aren't included, yet. It's probably worth a try creating an image of m0n0wall that includes these drivers. I could build and upload a modified image... after my exams. Wink

Ralink card is in this list
Quote
The RT2501   chipset   is the second generation of 802.11a/b/g   adapters from
     Ralink.  It consists of two integrated chips, an RT2561 MAC/BBP and an
     RT2527 radio transceiver.   This chipset provides support for the IEEE
     802.11e standard with multiple hardware transmission queues and allows
     scatter/gather for   efficient DMA operations.

I can see it n m0n0wall, I can configure it, but not working. In log I saw something about mising firmware or something like that(I detached it from firewall, I using working USB WLAN card now).

All right, I will include ralfw as well and then it should work. Would you volunteer for testing the image on all three cards that you have listed?

Preparation for my exams will take another two weeks. After I've written them, I will build a test image.

Yes, I`ll test image and all three cards with it.  Maybe I`ll find some other cards.

M0n0wall is great project and if I can, I`ll help.

I've just read that ipw and iwi devices don't support hostap mode. I will include and enable these devices for hostap mode in a test image but it will probably not work. Please give it a try, though.

For ral devices, the AP mode should work fine.

Great stuff, thanks for testing!

Any chance you could test IBSS (ad-hoc) mode with the Intel cards? At least, this mode should work.
