Hi,
The problem I have is: as I decided to buy a wifi card (Intel 8265) and then use under a VM on Proxmox. However, openWRT is not able to see it. To check if it is a Proxmox problem, I created another VM and installed Linux and I could connect using Wifi.
Any help would be appeciated,
Eduardo
there's a package called iwlwifi-firmware-iwl8265, did you install it ?
other modules will be required too, like kmod-wlwifi.
Be aware that passing through PCIe devices through to the VM isn't default and relatively error prone, also no Intel wireless card will do AP mode (2.4 GHz only, if you're lucky).
Hi guys,
So I followed @frollic suggestion and installed both packages and then worked. However, I stumbled with other problems:
My PC has just no ethernet port, therefore it needs to be the wan port. However, if I try to make this change, I can't connect to openWrt using Luci anymore or even ssh. I need to go to Proxmox console and re-edit the file again.
Probably this problem is due to my lack of knowledge of networks, but the goal is to create a subnet and make the computers connected to it to use some sort of VPN. The final layout would be:
Internet -> Router (10.10.1.1) -> OpenWrt (10.10.2.1), but there was no way for me make the subnet visible to other computers. Is it related with @slh said about no ap mode for Intel cards?
Thanks guys
most probably, yes, did you try 2.4GHz too ?
@frolic
I only tried with 2.4GHz. Funnily, I am able to run RaspAP using the same card. Here are some config file that I think it may be useful

Hope this can shed some light.

Does RaspAP use the same kernel version as openwrt ?
run iw list in openwrt, is AP one of the supported interface modes.
I may have overdone it, but here it goes:
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
* P2P-device
If this helps:
Linux OpenWrt 5.4.154 #0 SMP Sun Oct 24 09:01:35 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and
Linux RaspAp 4.19.0-18-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.208-1 (2021-09-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux
So I finally made it work.
