      I just inherited one of these AT&T Netgate 8200 and was wondering if anyone had put pfSense on one before? I opened it up and see that there's a Sandisk 2GB USB stick inside which I assume has the OS on it, a Linux distro called uClinux from my limited research so far. Any thoughts?

      Thanks,

      Mark

        It looks to have a Cavium Octeon processor which isn't x86. At this time pfSense only supports x86 cpus so it will not work.  :(

            Even if it was possible that it ran today, I would, PERSONALLY ensure that pfSense never ran on the AT&T 8200.
