        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.

          ok ran the pkg installer again it says installed but when I look in /boot/kernel I don't see the ng_etf-kmod file.
          the original file was from https://github.com/aus/pfatt/blob/master/bin/ng_etf.ko

            It installs it to /boot/modules. It installs and load fine or me here.

            What hardware are you running this on?

                Can you show the exact command you're using and the error you're seeing?

                  pkg install ng_etf-kmod-0.1 I don't get an error on the install it says it completed...maybe my expectation is wrong. I am assuming (which I know I should not) that the pkg installs all the variables and I simply have to connect the att gateway to the wan port on the pfsense box and the att ont to the lan side of the pfsense box and reboot.

                    Right and I assume you see the install happen after that rather than an error? The more info you give us the better we can help you here.

                    Please give the full console output of you trying to load that module and the error it returns.

                      using the shellcmd configuration Shellcmd Type earlyshellcmd...do I need to put

                      the full <earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd>

                      or simply /root/bin/pfatt.sh

                      also where do I find those logs you mentioned?

                        You don't need the tags just the full path to the command: /root/bin/pfatt.sh

                        Just copy and paste the console showing you running the command and whatever the output is.

                          ok also do I still need to run those chmod commands?

                          noted: chmod +x /root/bin/pfatt.sh

                                 chmod 555 /boot/kernel/ng_etf.ko

                            I did not after installing from the pkg. You might well have to if you uploaded the module manually.

                            It would show a permissions error if that were the case though.

                                Ok you are saying the module will not load. We need to see exactly how you're trying to load it and what errors it produces. Here's me doing the same on a local device:

                                [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1   21 0xffffffff80200000 2ddcbe8  kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff83221000 10a0     cpuctl.ko
 3    1 0xffffffff83223000 2ed0     cryptodev.ko
 4    1 0xffffffff83226000 10810    dummynet.ko
 5    1 0xffffffff83237000 a34      ng_etf.ko
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldunload ng_etf
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldload ng_etf
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldload ng_etf
kldload: can't load ng_etf: module already loaded or in kernel

                                I first check what modules are loaded with kldstat. Then unload ng_etf. The load it. Then try to load it again which produces an error.

                                    Ok, if you run dmesg after trying to load the module does it give any further information?

                                        Hmm, OK I suggest you have a bad module file there somewhere. Remove the package:

                                        [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg remove ng_etf-kmod
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 1 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
	ng_etf-kmod-0.1

Number of packages to be removed: 1

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]: y
[1/1] Deinstalling ng_etf-kmod-0.1...
[1/1] Deleting files for ng_etf-kmod-0.1: 100%

                                        Then search for any remaining rogue module files:

                                        [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: find / -name "*ng_etf*"
/root/var/cache/pkg/ng_etf-kmod-0.1-10b4f7c3eb.txz
/root/var/cache/pkg/ng_etf-kmod-0.1.txz

                                        On my system they are only in the package cache which is fine. If you have others remove them.

                                        Then reboot, check you still don't have any module file present and then re-install the package and retry.
