      Right and I assume you see the install happen after that rather than an error? The more info you give us the better we can help you here.

      Please give the full console output of you trying to load that module and the error it returns.

        using the shellcmd configuration Shellcmd Type earlyshellcmd...do I need to put

        the full <earlyshellcmd>/root/bin/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd>

        or simply /root/bin/pfatt.sh

        also where do I find those logs you mentioned?

          You don't need the tags just the full path to the command: /root/bin/pfatt.sh

          Just copy and paste the console showing you running the command and whatever the output is.

            ok also do I still need to run those chmod commands?

            noted: chmod +x /root/bin/pfatt.sh

                   chmod 555 /boot/kernel/ng_etf.ko

              I did not after installing from the pkg. You might well have to if you uploaded the module manually.

              It would show a permissions error if that were the case though.

                  Ok you are saying the module will not load. We need to see exactly how you're trying to load it and what errors it produces. Here's me doing the same on a local device:

                  [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address            Size     Name
 1   21 0xffffffff80200000 2ddcbe8  kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff83221000 10a0     cpuctl.ko
 3    1 0xffffffff83223000 2ed0     cryptodev.ko
 4    1 0xffffffff83226000 10810    dummynet.ko
 5    1 0xffffffff83237000 a34      ng_etf.ko
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldunload ng_etf
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldload ng_etf
[2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: kldload ng_etf
kldload: can't load ng_etf: module already loaded or in kernel

                  I first check what modules are loaded with kldstat. Then unload ng_etf. The load it. Then try to load it again which produces an error.

                  Steve

                      Ok, if you run dmesg after trying to load the module does it give any further information?

                          Hmm, OK I suggest you have a bad module file there somewhere. Remove the package:

                          [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: pkg remove ng_etf-kmod
Checking integrity... done (0 conflicting)
Deinstallation has been requested for the following 1 packages (of 0 packages in the universe):

Installed packages to be REMOVED:
	ng_etf-kmod-0.1

Number of packages to be removed: 1

Proceed with deinstalling packages? [y/N]: y
[1/1] Deinstalling ng_etf-kmod-0.1...
[1/1] Deleting files for ng_etf-kmod-0.1: 100%

                          Then search for any remaining rogue module files:

                          [2.4.4-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.fire.box]/root: find / -name "*ng_etf*"
/root/var/cache/pkg/ng_etf-kmod-0.1-10b4f7c3eb.txz
/root/var/cache/pkg/ng_etf-kmod-0.1.txz

                          On my system they are only in the package cache which is fine. If you have others remove them.

                          Then reboot, check you still don't have any module file present and then re-install the package and retry.

                          Steve

                                You have to use at least the trainling * or it won't anything:

                                find / -name "ng_etf*"

                                If there are no more instances then reinstall the pkg and try to load the module again.

                                  Ok no more load issue it loads now... one more thing to get straight before I reboot

                                  (1) ONT from outside goes to EM0
                                  (2) ONT from Residential Gateway goes to EM1

                                  is this correct?

                                  Could not wait curiosity got the best of me. rebooted with the above config. it booted but had no internet. I ran the network trouble shooter from windows and it came back with DNS issue.

                                    No way I can answer that without knowing how you have it connected. However it looks like you donlt have em interfaces at all from your previous posts. If that's have you have it configured in pfSense and the script is still the same then the ONT should be on igb0 and the BGW210-700 on igb1.

                                      Ok I have tried both
                                      ONT on em0 and the BGW210-700 on em1.

                                      (1) ONT from outside goes to EM0
                                      (2) ONT from Residential Gateway goes to EM1

                                        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 above👆 ...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?
