This procedure? https://github.com/aus/pfatt#install
-
yes that procedure.
-
does any one know where to find bin/ng_etf.ko?
-
Easiest place to get it from is the equivalent FreeBSD ISO, which would be 11.2-rel for pfSense 2.4.4.
But since I have that right here find it attached. remove the .txt extension.
It is in the /bin folder on that repo though exactly as described in the instructions there.

I looked in my bin folder but don't see it there.
-
It's in the bin folder on the github repo you are pulling this from: https://github.com/aus/pfatt/blob/master/bin/ng_etf.ko
-
Oh wow thank you...! I thought I could get it directly from browsing my PFsense folders...I am just a NUBE sorry.
-
You need to add that netgraph kernel module to pfSense because it isn't included by default. There would not normally be any reason to use such shenanigans!
-
Is there a better way to do this?
-
Go to a different provider?
But no, that's the only way I'm aware of to remove the AT&T router from the connection.

I would gladly do that but the only other choice is Comcast and they don't offer gig speeds where I am at.
-
Ok I am lost here how do I get the other files (pfatt.sh) ...I can't seem to download them...I can copy them to txt file but not sure that's what needs to be done.
-
hey, the best thing you can do is read these threads online. nobody wants to hold your hand while you do this.
that being said, you can upload files under diagnostics>command prompt ..... that will place them in the /tmp/ directory, then i'll give you another useful bit of information you can use ssh and the cp command to copy something, like this cp /tmp/pfatt.sh /bin/
also steve you could have pointed out that chris posted this a few months ago; much easier
run the below bold commands when your on console or ssh
Just a quick note that the etf kernel module is now available as a command-line-installable package from the Netgate repos.
[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense]/root: pkg search etf
ng_etf-kmod-0.1 ng_etf kernel module
[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense]/root: pkg install ng_etf-kmod

Proceed with this action? [y/N]:
No need to scp it from another FreeBSD node and it should track updates by FreeBSD.

Dude thank you for this info!!!!!!! OMG this is exactly what i was looking for...straight forward even for this nube. thank you thank you thank you
-
Ah, I missed that post. Didn't realise that was in our repo now. That's good as it will probably be updated for 2.4.5 which would otherwise have required a new module uploading.

pfSense-core repository
ok I have done my best with no success...I copied and edited the files as such and placed it in root/bin
ONT_IF=igb1
RG_IF= igb0
RG_ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx replaced with mac of BGW210-700
OPNSENSE=noedited my xml file as such above system as instructed.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pfsense>
<version>19.1</version>
<lastchange></lastchange>
<earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd>
<system>placed NG_etf.ko in /boot/kernel
Any further suggestions I would really like to get rid of BGW210-700
-
I also did a clean install of pfsense and tried the package install of etf with no success.
-
you had it going correctly....and just so you understand you're still keeping the gateway, its just off to the side now
make sure you search 'pkg search etf' then 'pkg install ng_etf-kmod'
and use the shellcmd package from the package manager rather than editing that xml file; that gave me problems trying to edit it manually
-
ok thanks...will try the shellcmd to edit the xml
-
installed pkg shellcmd
<earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd> earlyshellcmd ATT bridge
getting an error stating sh: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting word)
directly after loading configuration completes.
