Title: How can I make OPNSense load kernel module at startup?
Post by: park0kyung0won on November 19, 2018, 06:31:30 pm

I have a mellanox 10 gbe NIC and it requires mlx5 and mlx5en modules to function
So I had to type "kldload mlx5en" manually in CLI
I wanted to automate this by writing entry in "/boot/loader.conf" but it is being
flushed at every reboot

How can I setup my OPNSense to load certain kernel module at startup?

Use /boot/loader.conf.local as /boot/loader.conf comment at the top suggest... or better yet use System: Settings: Tunables.

I'm confused, the ReadTheDocs page says System-> Settings-> Tunables is for sysctl configuration parameters

How can it be for /boot/loader.conf and /etc/sysctl.conf at the same time?
