      Hi All,

      I saw in the system log, the following:
      kernel: iwi_bss: You need to read the LICENSE file in /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_iwi/.
      kernel: iwi_bss: If you agree with the license, set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 in /boot/loader.conf.
      kernel: module_register_init: MOD_LOAD (iwi_bss_fw, 0xffffffff806345e0, 0) error 1

      When I attempt to edit the /boot/loader.conf and save it, it say Read-Only file system.

      How do I set the variables as mentioned in the system log?

      Thanks & Regards.

            Are you running on a cfcard/flash media ?

            https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Remount_embedded_filesystem_as_read-write

            If you aren't running flash media, then you should consider reinstalling the full version & not the embedded one
