        I am running OPNsense (Don't hate me..) with the same code base and using supplicant mode with netgraph on bare metal without issues.

        I get full line speed and can make my line testing with Torrents and multiple users.

          No updates this this thread in a while. Anyone have any luck recently with supplicant mode on bare hardware?

            I’ve been running it...... still have to use net graph due to vlan 0.

              I'm still running supplicant mode on my SG-5100 without any issues.

                You can get around the vlan0 requirement by using a dumb switch between the ONT and pf/ontsense box.

                  @bk150 A few different people were having issues. Specifically I and a few others were having waiting for auth issue. ATT fiber installed in the area about 2 years ago now, so may be that has newer firmware not allowing that method to work. Or could be something I am doing wrong. Who knows. I have the bridge netgraph working for last few months, I guess close enough.

                    @fresnoboy any post or walk through you know of on doing this, bridging or supplicant, when virtualizing pfSense. Interested in doing this on Proxmox, but want to be less ignorant about it before attempting.

                      I was running the supplicant bypass with the certs, that quit working for me. Then I was using the RG connected bypass and about a week or two ago that quite working as well.

                        Apparently the people who had their just stop working with any method of bypass is most likely due to upgrades in your area to XGS-PON. Supposedly the certificate isn’t enough anymore and looks like AT&T has added more checks to TR-069 that exists on the RG. Smart people are looking into it but as AT&T moves away from the separate ONT and to a combo RG/ONT this maybe dead on the vine.

                          I had read about that over on the dsl forums. It's a shame, it was working very well. I am hoping someone figures out the magic solution to the new ONT/RG. Even though it has WIFI 6, i just dont want their crap in the way.

                            If supplicant mode still works for you in 2.4.5-p1, has anyone tried if it still works in pfsense+ 21.02 (or pfsense ce 2.5.0)?

                              @t41k2m3 I was able to just update from 2.4.5 to 2.5.0 using the update button in the web config and everything continued to work. System updated, rebooted, and automatically reconnected.

                                This is great news. Are you using the WPA supplicant or the bridging approach with the RG?

                                  @fresnoboy I'm using wpa_supplicant with extracted certificates at the moment. RG continues to sit in a box in the closet.

                                  I did double-check my previous tweaks to pfatt.sh mentioned earlier in this thread, and they are still required for wpa_supplicant to work for me (notably, wpa_supplicant has to run on the raw interface, not the ngeth0 interface that has vlan0 headers stripped).

                                  I've been trying to further tweak the script so that it no longer hangs on bootup if the router can't get an IP for any reason, which I've found to be a particular annoyance, but luckily everything has been super stable so it's mostly only an issue when I'm tinkering with things. If I get something working I'll upload/post it.

                                    That sounds great. I run pfsense as a VM under a vmware host, so I deal with the vlan0 tagging that way and don't use ngeth at all anymore.

                                    As a VM it's easy to take a snapshot and revert, so I'll try the upgrade and see if I have the same success. Thanks for posting here!

                                      I did the upgrade to 2.5.0 today. Went fine, and no issues with the pfatt WPA supplicant working in 2.5.0. Pretty smooth overall.

                                      Hopefully this solves the occasional mbuf panics I was seeing in 2.4.5p1

                                        So there is an issue. the wpa_supplicant on my system is showing 100% CPU utilization on one if the 4 CPUs. are other people seeing this too?

                                        Note in my situation I am not using ngeth0 at all - just a pure bypass with the certs, and vmware doing the vlan0 processing.

                                        This actually may have been going on before - as CPU usage seemed high before I made the transition earlier.

                                          That's actually the issue that has been going on. That's why i haven't upgraded yet, i noticed in the github issues. There hasn't been an update in a bit. I was waiting for the next incremental release to see if anything changes.

                                            And just FYI, 2.5.1 doesn't fix the wpa supplicant CPU locked at 100% problem. But so far, no mbuf panic either.
