      I will pay $100 cash OR give you a s518 card ($150 value) for a pfSense package which will support using the Sangoma s518 ADSL PCI modem card for a WAN connection in pfSense.

      thanks,
      glenn

        If you can give me remote access to a machine with this card in it, assuming it's supportable in FreeBSD (it looks like it might be), I'd be willing to take a crack at this and depending on how it has to go in, either pull it into base, or make a package out of it…whichever makes the most sense once I see what needs to be done.  As much as I wouldn't mind having the hardware, having a CO with no DSL capabilities kinda squashes any desire I have :)

          Good news. ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/FreeBSD/current_wanpipe/ has FreeBSD 6.x drivers for the s518 ADSL card.

          Has anyone got this card to work in pfSense 1.0.1 ?  It would be nice not to need an external ADSL router with my Soekris 4801 firewall.

          From the file "DESC" in the tarball ftp://ftp.sangoma.com/FreeBSD/current_wanpipe/wanpipe-3.1.2.tgz :-

          This package contains the latest Sangoma drivers that supports following 
          Sangoma cards under FreeBSD OS:
          o S508 ISA card
          o S514x PCI cards:
                    S5141 1 CPU, S5142 2 CPUs, S5143 FT1, S5144 T1/E1,
                    S5145 56k, S5147 T1/E1 2 CPUs
          o S518 ADSL PCI card
          The current version wanpipe-3.1 supports following protocols:
          o Cisco HDLC, Frame Relay and Point-to-Point (for S508 and S514x cards)
          o PPPoE and PPPoA (for S518 ADSL card)

          Release date:
          Mon Apr 23 09:18:54 EDT 2007

            I would be willing to add another $75 to this bounty in order to use the Sangoma card.  This would be a sweet addition!

              All
              This bounty still open?
              I'll take a crack at it.
              Careful with the unmodified drivers at sangoma, if they're anything like the linux ones, above a certain version number the S518 goes into an endless retrain loop :(
              I'll take a looky at how to build freebsd based pfsense modules now.
