Wifi – WLAN card as LAN interface

local-area-networkpfsensewifi

I have a system with 2 network adapters: a wifi card (atheros) and an ethernet card.
Both network adapters are recognized by pfsense 2.1 without problems, but I don't know how to configure it:

I want to use the wifi card as LAN interface, the ethernet card as WAN (DSL modem will be connected to it). During the first boot of pfsense I can assign the wifi card as LAN interface, but of course I can't access the pfsense system, as the WLAN itself is not yet configured.

So, what's the way to go here?

pfsense admin gui listens on all interfaces, but its being blocked on wan by default.... just add a rule to the WAN interface allowing 80 and/or 443

you dont need easyrule via cli, just navigate over to the firewall tab, and do this:
