    Hi,
    I update the pfSense 2.1.5 to 2.2 and looking dynes appeared these errors, which can do to avoid.

      You just need to do what the error message says:

      Add the following two lines to the file /boot/loader.conf and those messages will be gone:```
      legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
      legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1

        You should put the lines in /boot/loader.conf.local, create that file if you haven't already. The loader.conf file can be overwritten and isn't carried across a firmware update.

          Also you do no need that at all unless using Intel WiFi cards.

            Thanks Steve for correcting my answer to do it the proper way in order to survive upgrades.

            The error message appears on the boot console regardless of whether you have Intel WiFi cards installed in your box: My system has two Atheros Wifi cards only, but the error message nevertheless shows up. In any case, I don't think there's any harm with that setting.

              I know this is an old topic, I just wanted to check in if the /boot/loader.conf.local method is still the way to go. I tried this but pfsense doesn't load the file.

                Yep.
                (edit : the file name and location - what's in it and if it exists) is up to you - it will survive updates and upgrades)
                It's a FreeBSD thing, it will probably never change :

                cat  /boot/loader.conf.local
                kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
                legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
                

                It's the FreeBSD kernel that reads this file.
                How do you know it's not reading the file ?

                file  /boot/loader.conf.local 
                /boot/loader.conf.local: ASCII text
                

                No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                Edit : and where are the logs ??

                  @gertjan I think it's not reading because I get the warnings for authorizing the License when I put the variables in /boot/loader.conf.local , but not when I put them in /boot/loader.conf


                  Shell Output - cat /boot/loader.conf

                  kern.cam.boot_delay=10000
                  kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
                  kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9="524288"
                  hint.agp.0.disabled=1
                  legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
                  legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
                  autoboot_delay="3"
                  hw.usb.no_pf="1"
                  net.pf.request_maxcount="2000000"
                  

                  Shell Output - cat /boot/loader.conf.local

                  legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
                  legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1

                    I think it's not reading because .....

                    Read this again :

                    @gertjan said in Error dmesg (module_register_init: MOD_LOAD ):

                    file /boot/loader.conf.local
                    /boot/loader.conf.local: ASCII text

                    'file' is a command and it will tell you something.
                    Like : the kernel not being able to read the "/boot/loader.conf.local" because it has no "ASCII text" coding.

                    I have a

                    legal.intel_ipw.license_ack=1
                    

                    which removed messages like

                    iwi_ibss: If you agree with the license, set legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 in /b
                    

                    during booting?

                      @gertjan it still says the messages if its not in the default config file. The way I created the .local is by copying the original and renaming . its not really an issue because nothing I have in there is catastrophic.

                      I'll have to test other methods and report back. I'm almost sure its a layer 8 problem.
