Bypass At&t fiber BGW210-700
-
@stephenw10 I just got the SG-1100 a few days ago.
Also tried the factory reset, looking in /boot/kernel I don’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.Steve

Thanks @stephenw10 it you could let me know I would appreciate it!

Um.... what? Smells like spam...
Edit: Yup spam.Anyway: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10463

Thanks @stephenw10 so it sounds like in this case it’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?
-
Yes, and it does appear to load OK but I have no way to test it:

@stephenw10 will give this a shot, I did add the package from the repo and was able to load it up with kldload so that's promising :)
I appreciate your help!
-
@stephenw10 as a follow-up it does work on SG-1100 with 2.4.5, I was able to set it up and am now bypassing the ATT RG completely.
One thing I did run into was that my interface names differed from the output of ngctl and ifconfig, so I needed to manually change some parts of the script.
But so far so good!
-
First off, I'm not sure if there is a difference in repository information from 2.4.4 and 2.4.5, but I was trying to follow the instructions of installing ng_etf_kmod with no luck. When I enter "pkg search etf", I get no return. If I ignore the no return of information and move on to the next step, "pkg install ng_etf-kmod", I get all the text of updating repository catalog and all repositories are up-to-date, but "No packages available to install matching 'ng_etf-kmod' have been found in the repositories."
I am wondering if I've missed a prerequisite step of adding a repository. If so, how do I add the missing repository?
-
There is a difference. What are you installing on?
It's in kernel for amd64 but missing from 2.4.5 for other architectures. See the discussion in the last few posts here.

@stephenw10 Hey I need some help, I'm on 2.45 amd64 and when I try to run the script pfatt.sh it says "ng_etf file not found". I know its in kernel for 2.45 but when I run kldstat I don't see it on the list. Is there a step I am missing?
I'm using the pfatt.sh from link here.
-
If you're using the script from there you should not see that as it won't try to load the module. Assuming you didn't set opnsense=yes.
You have to use
kldstat -vto see the in-kernel modules.Steve
-
@stephenw10 Thanks for replying. Ok I see it in kldstat -v. Yeah I have opnsense='no' but it still comes up as file not found. Since its in kernel I should just be able to edit the pfatt and it work right?
-
Hmm, the logic is not quite right in the script then. Seems like it should be
-lt. The error should not matter though the module is still available, it doesn't look like the script does anything with the error.Steve
-
@stephenw10 Do I have to load the module?
-
No it's already in the kernel in 2.4.5.
-
@stephenw10 hmm yeah not sure why its not working then. I reinstalled pfsense and used the older script file link and still same error.
-
Yeah the old will try to load the module as was required in 2.4.4 and fail. Just comment out those lines if the error is causing a problem.
The error doesn't do anything though so if it's not working that's not the reason.Steve

For those that have successfully bypassed their AT&T Fiber Gateway, I am curious about if this has any effect on acquiring multiple static IP addresses? I was told that I can order static IP addresses but I have a suspicion that they are going to insist that they do things to the gateway to make it work. Does my suspicion have any warrant? Also, despite following instructions, it appears I do not have the ability to use IPv6... I'm not sure if it changed from a standard offering to a premium service or what. I used the pfatt.sh script using the ngeth0 interface, not the WPA_supplicant, to bypass the gateway. I still have my gateway plugged into the pfSense via a third NIC with the ONT on my first NIC and LAN on second.
