WiFi for Software Appliance

No, it is not unless it is a Sophos wifi card.

Is it a guess or you have read it in the Sophos Documentation?

I didn't know that Sophos offers PC compatible WiFi cards.

They don't unfortunately, they're hard wired and seem to have a signature that will allow the Hardware installation to recognise and use it. Software installations will ignore any internal wireless interfaces, they just don't have the capability of hitting the ground and running with them. In UTM 9 I tried to jury rig the drivers into the OS to make it recognised and the base layer kernel will recognise it, but the UTM software will just ignore it.

IIRC they are Intel Wireless cards.

And considering how on the XG when you're communicating with the console, you're not actually communicating with the console, you're passing commands over to another entity and they're running them, and you're just reading the output. To get the equivalent of root access would be nigh on impossible without the internal Sophos bits to be able to access the Sophos Diagnostic shell.

It's a shame but hey, that's business.

Well, of course I understand it but WiFi protection is present in software installations... there are SSIDs configured, etc..

I was just hoping.
