WPA_Supplicant
-
@stephenw10 Yes, AT&T U-verse fiber. I confirm it's gpon not xgspon.
I also notice that the system has two wpa_supplicant. one is under /usr/sbin, the other under /usr/local/sbin. Both are version 2.10 and both failed the 1x authentication.
The system was originally running CE 2.7.2 and then upgrade to 23.09.1/24.03.

Follow the guide above. Additional settings are needed as pfsense 24.03 (and possibly earlier) uses openssl 3.0. Att's certs do not meet the minimum security standards so weaker ciphers must be allowed.

@GPz1100 Thank you so much.
After adding
openssl_ciphers=DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=0to my wpa_supplicant.conf and set OPENSSL_CONF to a customized config file it works.I do appreciate your help. All of you.

Nice!
Don't shoot the messenger :). Technically, these certs are for internal use. I suppose these could be updated via firmware, but like most things att, doing so will probably create more damage than it solves.
Eventually gpon/eapol may fade away in favor of xgs and newer technologies.

one more thing, does pfsense plus provide a better integration with wpa_supplicant (instead of shellcmd/earlyshellcmd)? I notice this doc https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/authbridge.html but it basically focuses on bridging the ATT router with pfsense.
-
@henryzhou Depends on your use case. Most of us want the att box out of the path entirely. The recipe does the equivalent mode of using netgraph in proxy mode.
Im making use of earlyshell/shell cmd as outlined in the reddit link. We experimented last June (2023) in the discord group with different variations and found that to work best. The info's a bit scattered; poster on reddit did a good job of organizing it all.
It's unclear if you're using an external ont or gone the full fiber--> sfp route. In either even the wpa portion remains the same, just the interfaces change slightly - depending on which stick you use. Some sticks (odi dfp-34x-2c2 or equiv) require passing of a specific vlan to the firewall, others handle all the vlan internally (fs.com/lantiq modules). The wpa part however remains bound to the parent interface, not the vlan.

@GPz1100 For my pfsense plus setup, i use the external ONT. Because the device (N100) i'm running pfsense plus doesn't have sfp.
The only complain I have against shellcmd is it creates a small delay between the public ip is issued through DHCP and the routing rule setup. So in a short period, the device has the public ip but not being able to access internet.
-
Only when it first connects I assume?

Indeed my eyeroll is firmly in AT&T's direction.

@henryzhou It's really been a none issue. Somewhere around 23.x (I think), the boot timing/sequences got changed a bit. There used to be an issue with the interface getting dropped between early on and by the time it got to "configuring wan....", effectively breaking wpa. This has not been the case since.
And if there is any delay, not a big deal. The system is rebooted once every few months or less.
-
@GPz1100 Yes, it's not really an issue but my OCD.
