      pfSense / FreeBSD newbie here! :-)

      I've just installed pfSense on a "Jetway J7F4K 1.5GHz C7 CN700" motherboard and so far all is going well!

      I really want to be able to monitor CPU temperature though, and so far I'm having trouble. Installing phpsysinfo leaves me with a page without any reference to CPU temperatures, sysctl -a | egrep "temp" returns nothing and mbmon gives me:

      ioctl(smb0:open): No such file or directory
      No Hardware Monitor found!!
      InitMBInfo: Bad file descriptor
      

      Like I said, I'm a FreeBSD noob and I have no idea what this means! :-p Is it possible that acpi support is not compiled into my kernel, or is turned off in BIOS or something?

        I've noticed that essentially no acpi components are present, for example acpidump isnt present.

        Is there something I need to install?

          FreeBSD may not have support for that chipset, unfortunately.

          The real check is here, though:
