      I am trying to get an LCD to work on my new pfsense box and it is not showing up. I pulled the ucom.ko and utdfi.ko off my freebsd 10.1 system and when I go to load them it says for ucom file invalid and for utdfi it says already loaded, but the one loaded shows as uhub/utdfi. Can anyone help me get these loaded to see if that gets the LCD to show up?

        Both ucom and uftdi are in the kernel, no need for modules. If it's not detected, odds are the version of the driver on pfSense doesn't know it. Did it detect when connected to a plain FreeBSD 10.1 box?

        Try a pfSense 2.3 snapshot, it's based off FreeBSD 10.3, it may have picked up support for that device along the way.

          Thank you so much for the response, I have been trying for a week to get this working. I will try FreeBSD 10.1 full and let you know. It is a CrystalFontz CFA-631 LCD which I bought due to it being fully supported by LCDPROC.

          All I get the LCD to do at this point is blink when LCDPROC is started
