* At least __three__ physical network interfaces on your pfSense server
* The MAC address of your Residential Gateway
* Local or console access to pfSense
* pfSense 2.4.5 _(If you are running pfSense 2.4.4 please see instruction in the [Before-pfSense-2.4.5](https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt/blob/Before-pfSense-2.4.5/README.md))_
* pfSense 2.4.5 running on amd64 architecture _(If you are running pfSense 2.4.4 please see instruction in the [Before-pfSense-2.4.5 branch](https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt/blob/Before-pfSense-2.4.5/README.md))_
At this time there is a bug in pFsense 2.4.5 and [ng_etf module is only included in pFsense 2.4.5 _amd64 build_](
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/10463). Should be fixed in 2.4.5-p1.
If you are running pfSense on anything other than amd64 architecture you should compile your own version of ng_etf. Look at [Before-pfSense-2.4.5 branch](https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt/blob/Before-pfSense-2.4.5/README.md) for some guidance on compiling and running your own ng_etf.
If you only have two NICs, you can buy this cheap USB 100Mbps NIC [from Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00007IFED) as your third. It has the Asix AX88772 chipset, which is supported in FreeBSD with the [axe](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=axe&sektion=4) driver. I've confirmed it works in my setup. The driver was already loaded and I didn't have to install or configure anything to get it working. Also, don't worry about the poor performance of USB or 100Mbps NICs. This third NIC will only send/recieve a few packets periodicaly to authenticate your Router Gateway. The rest of your traffic will utilize your other (and much faster) NICs.
