Hi all,

I'm trying to compile the wanpipe drivers from Sangoma for use with my
pfSense box. I found a wanpipe-custom.tbz package available on what I
assume is one of the sites in the network for packages for pfSense. The
problem that I found was that, after installing, I couldn't seem to get
the modules loaded.

Now, I am running pfSense on a Soekris net4801 so I'm using a
non-default kernel. I'm assuming this is the reason the modules won't
load into the running kernel, because the modules were likely compiled
for the default pfSense kernel. I don't know a whole lot about FreeBSD,
comming from a linux background, so I could be wrong. Please point me in
the right direction if I am :-)

Anyways... I'd like to build the kernel modules for my platform, but I
don't know how. I can't imagine I'm gonna accomplish this on my Soekris
box (as it's a slow CPU and I've only got 128 meg ram in it). So I
installed the Developers ISO for 1.0.1 onto a spare machine/image. The
first thing that seems to happen is that the hard drive installation
immediately goes into bootstrap mode, downloading all the latest kernel
sources and pfSense patches and applying them. My fear is that this is
going to provide kernel modules for a newer kernel than the one I have
installed on the Soekris box.

So, how do I go about building/installing the kernel modules for the
wrap/soekris kernel that comes with pfSense? How do I get a build
environment for that release?

from memory,  /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts/build_embedded.sh is
the script to build an update. This will compile everything and give
you a tgz file that you can upgrade your firmware with via the web
gui. You would probably need to make changes to the kernel config
file.

do post a howto if you get it to work :-)

sai

ps. I dont know too much about this FreeBSD stuff either!
