pfsense 2.7.2 and Freebsd 14.0 Cannot load aquantia aqn-107 drivers
-
This error means that the driver is built for a different kernel version and will not be supported in Freebsd 14.0
-
@p33kay6521 So, you can try pfSesne CE version based on Freebsd 13 , have only this one solution
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/releases/versions.html#pfsense-ce-software
Oh , only based on 12))) Sorry
The other way to buy Plus version and try for Freebsd 15 or try Opnsense free edition based on Freebsd 13 and test)))

You need to have a module that's built for the specific kernel used in pfSense. Modules from FreeBSD release versions will almost always fail to load.

@stephenw10 so there is nothing i can do?
-
Use a pkg compiled for it.
Luckily another intrepid user already did that. See: https://forum.netgate.com/post/1165175

@stephenw10 i saw this post but the link he gives is dead and im not sure i have the expertise to replicate what he did. Does anyone perhaps have that file?
-
Try to download the file manually ( I have compiled the driver for Freebsd 14, taking into account all the necessary changes ) I hope that everything will work out

@Konstanti thank you so much. I will give it a go. Do I just copy file into /boot/modules directory
-
to upload a file, you need to
1 /Diagnostics/CommandPrompt ->Upload file2 from the console PF
cd /tmp
chmod +x if_atlantic.ko
cp if_atlantic.ko /boot/kernelkldload if_atlantic.ko
if everything works out, then you will need to make sure that the driver is loaded automatically at system startup

Hi
I did everything successfully. Driver is in kernel directory. Made the file executable but am still getting the same error message when i try to load the driver.Completely stumped. Maybe i will just move to openvpn on freebsd 13. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas ?
-
Yeah that module is not compiled against the pfSense 2.7.2 kernel. The instructions for dong so are in that linked thread.
Hopefully that other user may be able to re-upload their compiled module.
