      @stephenw10 I see the Redmine case is marked "more information needed". I'll be happy to provide more, but I still can't get the verification email from Redmine. What else is needed?

            Hmm, I'd try again, check you junk mail etc. The logs this end show the email being sent on March 4th at 8.07.

              @stephenw10 No mail in my spam folder or anywhere else, either. I just asked for a re-send again...not received yet, but I'll keep looking.

              Edit: ...and, of course,. as soon as I post that, it shows up. Activated.

                Just to confirm you also had a Hurricane Electric tunnel?

                Do you still see that error if you remove the WANV6_HE_TUNNEL_TUNNELV6 gateway before recreating the tunnel?

                  @stephenw10 Yes, it's a Hurricane Electric tunnel.

                  And deleting the gateway gives the same error on attempting to create the GIF.

                    Had EXACTLY the same issue, the same error, even the same line numbers in stacktrace

                    Rebooting pfSense did helped nothing.

                    But...

                    Menu Diagnostics -> Command Prompt -> Execute shell command

                    kldxref /boot/kernel/

                    Click execute

                    and now everything works just fine.
                    Created new GIF interface, ping is working fine. After reboot interface is up and everything looks fine

                      Yes, we discovered later than the same error can affect multiple tunnel types:

                        This is a bit different from the tuntap issue. I've captured the details here. armv7 kernels currently differ from arm64 and amd64 in that they do not statically link the if_gif module, so it must be loaded at runtime. A change has been authored for this and an update to the System Patches package is forthcoming.
