[solved] Watchguard x750e NICs LED fix for 2.2.5 not working?

vizi0n

Hi all,

I've just got an x750e and set it up following a few how-to's online for the tweaking.

One thing that I still haven't managed to get to work "correctly" are the LED lights for the NICs.

I have followed the explanations, but it seems like the modules never load

/etc/rc.conf_mount_rw
fetch -o /boot/modules/if_sk.ko https://sites.google.com/site/pfsensefirebox/home/if_sk.freebsd-8.3.ko
fetch -o /boot/modules/if_msk.ko https://sites.google.com/site/pfsensefirebox/home/if_msk.freebsd-8.3.ko
Update the /boot/loader.conf.local to add:
if_sk_load="yes"
if_msk_load="yes"
/etc/rc.conf_mount_ro
reboot

Now even if I try to dmesg | grep LED, nothing shows.

[2.2.5-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/conf: ls -la /boot/modules
total 237
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Dec 14 21:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 1024 Dec 14 21:34 ..
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 103608 Nov 4 17:21 bwi_v3_ucode.ko

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 47627 Sep 25 2013 if_sk.ko

Files are there

Here is my loader.conf.local

[2.2.5-RELEASE][root@pfSense.localdomain]/conf: cat /boot/loader.conf.local
hint.ata.0.mode=PIO4
if_sk_load=yes
if_msk_load=yes
hw.msk.msi_disable=1

Any help would be appreciated!

Try the files here. The ones you used are for an earlier freebsd version.

the link isn't opened.
where i can find modules for 2.3 pfsense?

vizi0n

I have attached both the if_sk.ko and if_msk.ko that are on my Firebox right now which is running 2.3.3.

Just copy them to /boot/modules

Do you know what those were compiled against? I guess they were those posted in the old thread unless you re-compiled them yourself?
