      nope .. but i did a scroll lock on the error and got this.
      pfSense_interface_rename() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /etc/inc/interfaces.inc on line 3313.

      That line reads: pfSense_interface_rename($tmpstfiface, $stfiface);
      Parameter 1 I think is $tmpstfiface and is getting set by $tmpstfiface = pfSense_interface_create("stf");
      if not then it is the $stfiface set by $stfiface = "{$interface}_stf";

      But which ever one it is, its creating an array and not a string.

      Update:
      With parameters set to "wan" and "wan_stf", I no longer get the errors booting up, but it looks like stf is never created or renaming fails as I keep getting:

      
      The command '/sbin/ifconfig wan_stf inet6 2002:4658:b479:: prefixlen 16' returned exit code '1', the output was 'ifconfig: interface wan_stf does not exist'

        The $tmpstfiface variable is an array due to the fact that the "pfSense_interface_create" function returns an array (with the key "error" and value "Could not create interface") when an error occurs.

        Try without using the "pfSense_interface_create" function by executing "ifconfig stf create" and see what happens.

          It is actually returning the string "Array" … I put in a log_error command to return the value of $tmpstfiface.

            Directly printing an array returns the string "Array".

              Okay .. how can I convert that from array to string to print the error? no other error is being shown.

                Use either "$output = var_export($var, true);" or "$output = print_r($var, true);" before feeding the $output variable to the log_error function. But I would be more interested in what happens when you execute "ifconfig stf create" on the command line, as the array contents will very likely only be "array( 'error' => "Could not create interface", )".

                    okay, got it to show what it is putting in there. It is putting in a '1'.
                    When I hard code it to pfSense_interface_rename("stf0", $stfiface); everything works!!!
                    So, I am not sure why the pfSense_interface_create("stf"); is returning a 1 since it is created, but unsure why it is erroring out.

                      I can also confirm that if you do:
                      ifconfig stf create
                      ifconfig stf0 name wan_stf
                      from the console, that the existing code works like a charm. It does not survive reboot though unless you do this yourself.

                        I found out why :)
                        Pushed a fix for this. The module for stf interface is not loaded that is why ifconfig works while pfSense calls do not!

                        Upgrade/gitsync to latest code since there have been fixes for all your issues.
