Good and cheap ADSL card for OPNSense

[weust]

In that case, you should be able to find the brand and model in the POST screen.

Hi Mattia,

The VT8325 south bridge chip in the picture makes the board either an Athlon board with a KT400 chipset, or an P4 board with a P4X333/P4X400 chipset according to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_VIA_chipsets.

All these support PCI version 2.2 if you are still looking for an ADSL card. I think your biggest problem will be to find one that is supported by the FreeBSD 10.2 kernel

Hi guys,

so, a friend of mine had an old Netgear router lying around in his attic and just gave it to me. Therefore I didn't buy any new modem but just took his router and put it into bridge mode. I set up PPPoE whit OPNsense and everything worked after a few hours of tinkering. I didn't try out IPv6 but I will in near future and let you know. I'm gonna look at those modems again if the Netgear should fail. Thank you all for the help. I really appreciate it.
Thank you also for the help with my box; even thou I'm not gonna use an ADSL card, it's still nice to know whats inside that PC.

Thank you very much,
Mattia

P.S.:
How can I install dmidecode on OPNsense? pkg install dmidecode says there is no such package but there should...

[weust]

That's because OPNsense has it's own package tree.
There is a way to install it, but you have to look for documentation yourself, or wait for a dev reply here.

Hi Mattia_98,

I've added the sysutils/dmidecode package to our ports config and did a amd64 build on my machine.

In case you don't want to wait for the next release (and your using 64bit), you can install the package I build by executing this:

Code Select Expand

pkg add -f https://pkg.opnsense.org/snapshots/dmidecode-3.0.txz

Hi AdSchellevis,
thank you very much. I do have a 32-bit system so I can't try it now.
Will this package be added in the next version? Then I only have to upgrade and run "pkg install dmidecode" on the system?

Thank you,
Mattia

Hi Mattia,

It will be available automatically when we do a build again for the next version of OPNsense, unfortunately I don't have a 32bit machine at hand at the moment to provide you with one now.

When I change the provider, I'll be able to test my assumptions about PPPoE, modems have options for IPv4 and IPv6, and I'll check the effects in bridge mode.

I have no experience with Zyxel devices, just TP-Link and Buffalo WBMR-HP-G300H after good use with DD-WRT firmware in bridge mode.

In fact, I get a TP-Link modem so that I can get buffalo back into WiFi AP.
