Yes and no.
Yes, I could load the driver manually. But I had problems loading the firmware manually. (Tried to set legal. ...=YES by sysctl, which apparently does not work this way.)
Yes, since I restrained for trying to autoload by manually editing /boot/loader.conf and used the GUI instead.
Yes, ifconfig rsu0 up throws no error anymore (before: IMEM issue...)
No, since 16,7 does not yet show the device in the dropdown list /interfaces_wireless_edit.php until I do
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rsu0 on the console. Then again the GUI complains about not being able to assign any further clones, due to restrictions of the driver.

I'll play around a bit longer...

[OT]:
Also tried with an MT7601U. This works neither and I haven't found an approriate driver either.
Funny thing: the MT7601U listed by usbconfig list immediately - in contrary to the RTL8188SU
[/OT]

Sorry for hijacking this thread for a question related to an RTL8188SU adapter:
I now have my OPNsense setup in a KVM/libvirt machine for two days, playing around with it, trying to get familiar with OPNsense.

I tried to pass the RTL8188SU through, as I've done that on pfSense before. The host machine (Ubuntu 16.04 Linux) recognizes the adapter (lsusb lists it). Drivers have been unloaded there. In OPNsense 16.7 "usbconfig list" only shows the emulated USB Hub, but no device connected to it. dump_info, set config etc don't make it appear either.
Googling for that behaviour gave some useless hints.

(rsu drivers actived according to rsu man page)

Any advise?

Thank you.

FYI: Banana PI specs: http://www.bananapi.org/p/product.html and http://www.banana-pi.org/m1.html
In short: Allwinner A20* (ARM Cortex-A7 dual-core, 1GHz), 1 GB DDR3 SDRAM, GE internally connected through USB. The OS gets loaded through U-Boot via SD-Card. (It's quite easy to repair wrong kernel issues that way.)

The fact, that FreeBSD lists it under the armv6 directory made me wonder. AFAIK, there is no armv6 banana.

For symetric traffic shaping - will this patch be included in FreeBSD's upcoming mainline kernels?

Ok, let me repeat the procedure:
I'll get the FreeBSD 11.0 image first and put it on sdcard. Then I boot to FreeBSD and get the OPNsense bootstrap script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opnsense/update/master/bootstrap/opnsense-bootstrap.sh and execute it. Is that script the correct one (for 11.0?) or will it rather break things? In the end I put the mainline kernel back in place.

Hi franco,

I am currently using freeradius package in pfSense and would love to see something similar in OPNsense.
Can you give me some hints where to start? How can I help?

Will 17.1 have FreeRadius [Edit:] plugin included?

Hi franco!

Can you please explain to me, what OPNsense's changes to the kernel are, compared to the FreeBSD mainline kernel?
How deep are the modifications to the base system, especially on ARM?

I'll now try to set up the Banana PI, as you suggested. If there is anything special I should report back or log while doing so, please let me know. Would it be advisable to use FreeBSD 11 with 16.7, or rather FreeBSD 12-Current with 17.1?

Thank you!

Hi!

I just registered an account here, because I was hoping to get more information on the BPI (M1). I have such a unit from Lemaker and found franco's posting about the RPI 1B https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=3793.0#msg13161.

Is that setup method just the same for the BPI? I.E. get an image from FreeBSD for via https://github.com/freebsd/crochet, or ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arm/armv6/ISO-IMAGES/11.0/FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-arm-armv6-BANANAPI.img.xz respectively, then download and run the OPNsense install script?

Should it really be that simple?

Thanks!
