      Worked just fine on my Jetway MB with pfSense 2.0.2

      coretemp.ko was already in /boot/kernel folder

      Edited all files manually

      – pfSense 2.0.2 Setup --
      Motherboard: Jetway NF99FL-525
      CPU: Intel Atom D525 Dual-Core 1.8GHz
      RAM: 1x2GB Crucial DDR3 1333
      HD: 60GB OCZ Agility 3 SATA III
      PSU: PicoPSU-80
      Case: M350 Universal Mini-ITX enclosure

            I have it working on my Soekris 6501-50 with atom E6xx proc. and i386 pfSense 2.1.
            It shows the temp for 2 cores (hyper threading).
            I have manually edited both .php files
            Works great.

                  Works perfectly in release 2.0.3, which already has included coretemp modules! Only the PHP files need to be modified.

                  I suggest to pull these in for everybody, by default in the installation media.

                    The coretemp modules and a dashboard temperature reading is included by default in 2.1. I don't think it is graphed though.

                        If anyone wants to graph these temperatures in Munin, using the munin-node on pfSense based on this, here's a plugin for that:

                        #!/bin/sh
                        
                        # Plugin to monitor Jetway motherboard CPU temperatures on pfSense controller runtime data. Installation:
                        # - copy this plugin script to /usr/local/share/munin/plugins/, make it executable
                        # - symlink it to /usr/local/etc/munin/plugins/
                        # - restart munin-service
                        
                        case $1 in
                           config)
                                cat <<'EOM'
                        graph_title CPU Temperatures
                        graph_vlabel Degrees C
                        graph_category sensors
                        cpu_0.label Core 0
                        cpu_1.label Core 1
                        cpu_2.label Core 2
                        cpu_3.label Core 3
                        
                        EOM
                                exit 0;;
                        esac
                        
                        temp0=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.0.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                        echo -n 'cpu_0.value '; echo $temp0|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                        temp1=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.1.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                        echo -n 'cpu_1.value '; echo $temp1|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                        temp2=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.2.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                        echo -n 'cpu_2.value '; echo $temp2|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                        temp3=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu.3.temperature|awk '{print $2}')
                        echo -n 'cpu_3.value '; echo $temp3|awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                        
                        

                        Btw, munin-node works fine on 2.0.3 too.

                          Munin Plugin updated for 8-core cpu temperature (tested on Supermicro A1SRi-2758F):

                          #!/bin/sh

                          # - restart munin-service
                          
                          case $1 in
                          config)
                          cat <<'EOM'

                          temps=$(/sbin/sysctl dev.cpu | grep temperature)
                          echo -n 'cpu_0.value '; printf "$temps" | awk 'NR==1{print $2; exit}' | awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
                          echo -n 'cpu_1.value '; printf "$temps" | awk 'NR==2{print $2; exit}' | awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'

                          echo -n 'cpu_4.value '; printf "$temps" | awk 'NR==5{print $2; exit}' | awk '{gsub(/C/,"")};{print}'
