I'm building a utility to run pfSense + some other utilities that I can place at some remote sites. I have the boxes, so I'm limited to this hardware.

How to pass the wifi adapter through to pfSense?

I tried PCI pass through, but am running into obstacles as detailed in this post.

I started adding wpa_supplicant to proxmox, but that seems janky.

My current thought is to buy a USB wifi adapter, then use USB passthrough.

Am I missing anything interesting?
