I am trying to load the ipmi module, after installing the ipmitool package via SSH, but somehow it doesn't load.
Loading it manually works fine.
I created /usr/local/etc/rc.loader.d/20-ipmi and added ipmi_load="YES" to it.
Seems the file doesn't need any special permissions or user:group on it, so what could I be missing?

Hey,
Let's first make sure the template is moved to the config:
# grep ipmi_load /boot/loader.conf

Can't you just create a tunable in the UI?

Perhaps? I was told last year to do it this way.
But I can't refer to that atm.

This is odd. I initially named the file 20-ipmitool, but later I thought the module is named ipmi and the pkg is named ipmitool, so made more sense to rename is to 20-ipmi.
And now it works?
root@OPNsense:~ # grep ipmi_load /boot/loader.conf
ipmi_load="YES"
root@OPNsense:~ # grep ipmi_load /boot/loader.conf
ipmi_load="YES"

The name of the file doesn't matter, only the contents.
So works? :)
Patrick is right of course, you could add a tunable nowadays as well.

Yes, it works. And after discussing it on IRC I have added a tuneable.
