Hi
As far as im Aware, there has been Multiple Issues with reliability and support for USB to Ethernet Adaptors.
There has been a great deal of Success by Disabling Checksum. But this could be different for your Configuration.
Hope this helps.

Thanks!
How to "Disabling Checksum"? -
I found:
"Navigate to System > Advanced on the Networking tab
Check Disable hardware checksum offload under the Network Interfaces header."
;D
Not help!

Thats the Feature yes,
Are these USB Network Cards that are known to work, even if not Suggested? or they Random Adapters found cheap?
Thanks

If your card (more precisely: its chipset) is not on this list you won't have fun:

But, cam to use Windows drivers with ndisgen?

if you have to resort to an USB-nic., then you picked the wrong hardware to run pfSense on.
what you could do:
-make multiple VLAN interface on your single NIC (WAN/LAN/LAN2/LAN3/..)
-buy a $50 managed switch to handle the the vlans.be sure to realize that you are sharing the speed of a single NIC over multiple virtual interfaces. this is done often, but has an impact of performance …. atleast it'll work
-
Reinstall your pfSense installation.
After the first boot up, the setup starts where you will be ask for assigning the interfaces.
If the USB to LAN adapter is recognized, then there are 2 NIC's to choose from.
If you don't see 2 NIC's, the USB to LAN adapter is not supported.
These type of HP Thin Clients are normally used with the Expansion bay from HP, that way you can
add a extra NIC or Dual Gigabit NIC in the PCI slot, this will work right away.Grtz

Or go to Interfaces > (assign) and check there. It should appear as ue0.
Or check the boot log. Or boot with it unplugged then plug it in once booted and check the system log.

I found the solution! 8)
I replaced the TP-link adaptor, with ORICO UTL-U2 (http://www.orico.cc/goods.php?id=4947) with chip ASIX AX88772 compatible with FreeBSD (https://www.freebsd.org/relnotes/CURRENT/hardware/support.html#ethernet)
Was detected imediatly!

After the firewall install, the compuetr from network have ping and tracert to google.com, but browsing not working.
The problem was solved with Disable hardware checksum offload" from System>Advanced>Networking Tab -

That's exactly the sort of thing that is commonly broken with USB NICs and why we generally recommend not to use them. The driver/hardware reports it is capable of checksum offloading but it's actually broken.
