You have to show more from your configuration to be able to give you any advice.

My guess is that you are missing a boot loader directive to load the firmware for your USB WLAN card. Consequently the USB WLAN card seems to be missing at startup so the startup code thinks there is a missing interface (run0).
Try adding the line
runfw_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.conf.local (create the file if it doesn't already exist).
A bit more information is in http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,36453.0.html

Hello.
yes i thing that also because i had to unplug and plug again the usb wlan card after boot !!!
i will try the fix tonight and i tell you.
Edit : i have a /boot/loader.conf
i can use it or i have to create also a /boot/loader.conf.local ???Also another question.
My usb wlan is a 3000 mw power. But it seem that i do not receive it more far than other wlan cards.
Is there a special tweak in the driver of the adaptor to use the full power or the 99% setting on the webgui of opt1 is enough to have full power of the adapter ?
here is my ifconfig :
run0: flags=8a43 <up,broadcast,running,allmulti,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 2290 ether 00:e1:00:87:c7:a8 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running run0_wlan0: flags=8943 <up,broadcast,running,promisc,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:e1:00:87:c7:a8 inet6 fe80::2e1:ff:fe87:c7a8%run0_wlan0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x8 inet 192.168.5.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.5.255 nd6 options=3 <performnud,accept_rtadv>media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11g <hostap> status: running ssid "Open Free Wifi" channel 5 (2432 MHz 11g) bssid 00:e1:00:87:c7:a8 country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 0 scanvalid 60 protmode OFF -apbridge dtimperiod 1 -dfs</hostap></performnud,accept_rtadv></up,broadcast,running,promisc,simplex,multicast></hostap></up,broadcast,running,allmulti,simplex,multicast>
Thank you for all you help.

pfsense parses /boot/loader.conf and /boot/loader.conf.local. The former will be replaced with a system upgrade, so it's recommended you created /boot/loader.conf.local and make your changes there. There is no need to included lines that are already in /boot/loader.conf, and if you have any conflicting settings in /boot/loader.conf.local, I believe they will take precedence.
