      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=no

        edited 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

                installed pkg shellcmd

                getting an error stating sh: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting word)

                  Do you get that same error if you just run the script at the command line?

                  It seems like the script may not be complete if it's showing that error. How did you copy it onto your firewall?

                      (1) I copied PFatt.sh as raw file to notepad.
                      (2) Made the changes as noted saving changes using semi colon " at beginning and at end of name to ensure it save as correct file type .sh
                      (3) used command prompt in pfsense webgui to upload to tmp directory.
                      (4) SSH into pfsense using putty to create directory root/bin.
                      (5) used file editor in pfsense to copy file to root/bin.

                        Notepad can break stuff completely. I recommend Notepad++ in Windows, though it's been a few years since I last used it.

                        If you open the file in Diag > Edit file does it looks correct?

                          It looks correct from what I can tell...what if I copied it directly to the pfsense file edit made the changes there then save it as file type .sh? Does that eliminate the possibility of coruption?

                            Yes. Or just pull it directly into pfSense and then edit it in the webgui:

                                  now I am getting the following error...kldload: an error occurred while loading the module. Please check dmesg(8) for more details. It appears I might be out of luck.

                                    Can you load the module manually?:

                                    kldload ng_etf.ko

                                        Hmm, and you got that module from the repo using pkg install?

                                            That sort of error can often be because the module is wrong, from the wrong FreeBSD version or wrong architecture, but that cannot be the case if you installed it from the repo.
