      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 above๐Ÿ‘† ...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?

                          Hmm, it does appear to be missing. Digging.....

                            Ok, you should not need to install that pkg any longer as the Netgraph etf module is now in the base install:

                            [2.4.5-RELEASE][root@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldstat -v | grep ng_etf
                            		533 ng_etf

                              @stephenw10 that explains it then, I had originally used the pre compiled file which was meant for x64 and not ARM (I believe) and then after upgrade removed the file thinking it was the the pre compiled and not the new one.

                              Any chance I can still pull the arm kernel from somewhere, or if it I just reset the device will it get restored?

                                Hmm, I don't believe it in the ARM kernel. What device do you have?

                                  @stephenw10 I just got the SG-1100 a few days ago.

                                  Also tried the factory reset, looking in /boot/kernel I donโ€™t see the file now.

                                    Ok, it doesn't appear to be in the aarch64 kernel either. The pkg was available for all architectures in 2.4.4 though.
                                    I have asked about it internally.

                                            Thanks @stephenw10 so it sounds like in this case itโ€™s only going to be available in 64 bit for 2.4.5.

                                            Would it be possible to get the compiled file from the 2.4.4 build that was for arm and I can try that out?
