How can I get my wifi network interface in proxmox ? (broadcom BCM4352)

[capitaineflam]

HI !

I'm setting up a virtualized pfsense router, and I'd like smartphones to be able to connect to it.

I have an Asus x79 deluxe motherboard with 2 ethernets and 1 wifi card (model BCM4352).

Problem: the interface is not recognized in proxmox, nor is it recognized when I use ip a :




However, it is recognized with lshw -C network :





What I did:

I installed this package because the wl package doesn't support monitor mode:

apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer

I also noticed that the wifi card (BCM4352) and the interface (enp12s0) share the same physical id and the same bus. Does this mean I can't use ethernet and wifi at the same time?

Did you read this on why using Wifi is a bad idea and only works with workarounds?: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/WLAN

I would try to PCI passthrough the wifi card into the pfsense VM so pfsense then could directly access it. Then PVE also doesn't need any drivers. But check first if the wifi card got its dedicated IOMMU group: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI_Passthrough
