Hello
I have installed a proxmox + one pfsense VM on a HW with VT-x but no VT-d.
The pfsense works fine with the 2 ethernet card.
I have in the network conf 2 network device and 2 bridge (one device for one bridge)

I have add a a PCIe Wifi card and I do not see it neither in proxmox gui neither in pfsense...
I have read some post on passthrough but as I do not have the VT-d support on the motherboard it seem's I can not use the passtrough for the wifi card.

How can I see the wifi card in Pfsense ?

Thanks
 
lspci on the proxmox see the card :
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR242x / AR542x Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
 
Hi,

if you have no vt-d you can't use it direct in PFSense.
But you can make a routed configuration on the host.
 
Thanks for Reply
And with a routed configuration, is it possible to declare an Access Point with the card in Pfsense ?
 
No, you have to declare a AP on Proxmox and then route the traffic to a bride where PFSense is connected.
 
I have try to find some information on How to declare an AP on proxmox... but I dont see anything.
is it possible through the WebGUI or is it like a debian in CLI ?

You have do everything in the Debian way.
Proxmox has no support for AP.
You will find many HOWTO when you search Deabian9 AP Routed setup
