        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.

            Steve

                  You have to use at least the trainling * or it won't anything:

                  find / -name "ng_etf*"

                  If there are no more instances then reinstall the pkg and try to load the module again.

                    Ok no more load issue it loads now... one more thing to get straight before I reboot

                    (1) ONT from outside goes to EM0
                    (2) ONT from Residential Gateway goes to EM1

                    is this correct?

                    Could not wait curiosity got the best of me. rebooted with the above config. it booted but had no internet. I ran the network trouble shooter from windows and it came back with DNS issue.

                      No way I can answer that without knowing how you have it connected. However it looks like you donlt have em interfaces at all from your previous posts. If that's have you have it configured in pfSense and the script is still the same then the ONT should be on igb0 and the BGW210-700 on igb1.

                          What happened when you got yo step 7 here: https://github.com/aus/pfatt#install

                          Did you see the ngeth0 interface and assign it as WAN?

                          Since you are re-assigning the interfaces it shouldn't matter which one you use as long as they are actually connected to the devices you set in the script.

                          Check the log file the script makes each time it runs: /var/log/pfatt.log
                          There should be some good troubleshooting info there if it's still not working.

                            1. Next, we spoof the MAC address of the residential gateway and request a DHCP lease on ngeth0. The packets get tagged as VLAN0 and exit to the ONT.

                            are you talking about this step above👆 ...if so I did place my residential gateway mac in PFatt,sf. does it need to go someplace else?

                            I never got any prompts to configure any thing on boot up..can I configure manually from GUI?

                                  Can I use the wireless portion of the BGW210-700 as an access point or is it completely out of the equation at this point?

                                    Short answer: no.

                                    It may be possible to configure something but I would not. It would be though the AT&T router so all the nat and firewall would apply there as well as in pfSense. It would be entirely separate from the LAN. Also you would probably be the only person running that config so it's hard to say what you might run into.

                                      Thanks Steve...I also lost some speed dropped to 100 Mbits I have Gig fiber. I reset the the BGW210-700 to factory defaults brought up the network and did a speeds test through the BGW210-700 and it came back to 997 on the download and 837 on the upload...I then rebooted the Pfsense and connect. Ran another speed test again and they came back normal. Is this something I will have to do normally?

                                        I would not expect so. I do not have that type of connection though so I have no way to know for sure. @sherpagoodness may be able to tell what to expect.

                                          @sherpagoodness Hey since I bypassed ATT BGW210-700... my speed dropped to 100 Mbits I have Gig fiber. I reset the the BGW210-700 to factory defaults brought up the network and did a speeds test through the BGW210-700 and it came back to 997 on the download and 837 on the upload...I then rebooted the Pfsense and connect. Ran another speed test again and they came back normal. I just checked it a gain and it's back to 100 mbits... Is this something I will have to do normally?

                                            @stephenw10 I was recently running into the same issue with the package install as well. Currently running pfsense 2.4.5, when trying to pull the package and install I'm getting "no packaged available to install mactching 'ng_etf-kmod'. Were these pulled or no longer available, or is it related to differing versions?
