hey, the best thing you can do is read these threads online. nobody wants to hold your hand while you do this.

that being said, you can upload files under diagnostics>command prompt ..... that will place them in the /tmp/ directory, then i'll give you another useful bit of information you can use ssh and the cp command to copy something, like this cp /tmp/pfatt.sh /bin/

also steve you could have pointed out that chris posted this a few months ago; much easier

run the below bold commands when your on console or ssh

Just a quick note that the etf kernel module is now available as a command-line-installable package from the Netgate repos.

[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense]/root: pkg search etf
ng_etf-kmod-0.1 ng_etf kernel module
[2.4.4-RELEASE][root@pfSense]/root: pkg install ng_etf-kmod
Updating pfSense-core repository catalogue...
pfSense-core repository is up to date.

The following 1 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):

New packages to be INSTALLED:

Number of packages to be installed: 1

3 KiB to be downloaded.

Proceed with this action? [y/N]:

No need to scp it from another FreeBSD node and it should track updates by FreeBSD.

Dude thank you for this info!!!!!!! OMG this is exactly what i was looking for...straight forward even for this nube. thank you thank you thank you

stephenw10

Ah, I missed that post. Didn't realise that was in our repo now. That's good as it will probably be updated for 2.4.5 which would otherwise have required a new module uploading.

pfSense-core repository

ok I have done my best with no success...I copied and edited the files as such and placed it in root/bin

ONT_IF=igb1
RG_IF= igb0
RG_ETHER_ADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx replaced with mac of BGW210-700
OPNSENSE=no

edited my xml file as such above system as instructed.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<pfsense>
<version>19.1</version>
<lastchange></lastchange>
<earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd>
<system>

placed NG_etf.ko in /boot/kernel

Any further suggestions I would really like to get rid of BGW210-700

Phantom_Stage

I also did a clean install of pfsense and tried the package install of etf with no success.

sherpagoodness

you had it going correctly....and just so you understand you're still keeping the gateway, its just off to the side now

make sure you search 'pkg search etf' then 'pkg install ng_etf-kmod'

and use the shellcmd package from the package manager rather than editing that xml file; that gave me problems trying to edit it manually

Phantom_Stage

ok thanks...will try the shellcmd to edit the xml

Phantom_Stage

installed pkg shellcmd

<earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd> earlyshellcmd ATT bridge

getting an error stating sh: syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting word)
directly after loading configuration completes.

stephenw10

Do you get that same error if you just run the script at the command line?

It seems like the script may not be complete if it's showing that error. How did you copy it onto your firewall?

Steve

sherpagoodness

this is how your file should be - just replace with your modems mac address

(1) I copied PFatt.sh as raw file to notepad.
(2) Made the changes as noted saving changes using semi colon " at beginning and at end of name to ensure it save as correct file type .sh
(3) used command prompt in pfsense webgui to upload to tmp directory.
(4) SSH into pfsense using putty to create directory root/bin.
(5) used file editor in pfsense to copy file to root/bin.

stephenw10

Notepad can break stuff completely. I recommend Notepad++ in Windows, though it's been a few years since I last used it.

If you open the file in Diag > Edit file does it looks correct?

Steve

Phantom_Stage

It looks correct from what I can tell...what if I copied it directly to the pfsense file edit made the changes there then save it as file type .sh? Does that eliminate the possibility of coruption?

stephenw10

Yes. Or just pull it directly into pfSense and then edit it in the webgui:

@stephenw10 said in Bypass At&t fiber BGW210-700:

/root/bin/pfatt.sh

Did it got the same syntax error.

stephenw10

Sorry wrong file path there. Try this:

[2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@fw321.stevew.lan]/root: fetch -o /root/bin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aus/pfatt/master/bin/pfatt.sh
/root/bin/pfatt.sh                                    3309  B   11 MBps    00s

Phantom_Stage

now I am getting the following error...kldload: an error occurred while loading the module. Please check dmesg(8) for more details. It appears I might be out of luck.

stephenw10

Can you load the module manually?:

kldload ng_etf.ko

Phantom_Stage

nope same error...can I download ng_etf.ko to /boot/kernel directly.

stephenw10

Hmm, and you got that module from the repo using pkg install?
