      Can you recommend any good USB adapter that can be compatible to do this??

            uhm pretty much you are screwed

            but past here the output of
            usbconfig dump_device_desc

            maybe remove that device and do a

            dmesg
            

            attach it again and do a dmesg again, copy/past here the output if something new is reported from dmesg
            if nothing is reported than the type-c port is not recognized by pfsense

                  That seems to be one of the EL'cheapo adapters

                  https://github.com/bzapal/usb-2-10-100m-ethernet-adapter-rd9700

                  Seems to be in FreeBSD 11 Stable

                  http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/dev/usb/usbdevs?v=FREEBSD-11-STABLE;im=3
                  vendor KONTRON 0x0fe6 Kontron AG
                  product KONTRON JP1082 0x9700 USB Ethernet

                  Edit:
                  It seems like it gives you the info that @kiokoman mentions here
                  https://forum.netgate.com/post/951370

                  Try to do as he describes

                    maybe it's another usb adapter, it's not the ue300c he mentioned on the first post

                      Maybe it's TP-Link just using whatever chipset they fancy and marking it v2 in tiny tiny letters. 😉

                      But that is in 2.4.5:
                      https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_4_5/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs#L2637

                      Should be supported by udav(4):
                      https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_4_5/sys/dev/usb/net/if_udav.c#L179

                      Which is included in 2.4.5:

                      [2.4.5-RELEASE][admin@t70.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat -vv | grep udav
                      		395 udav/miibus
                      		394 uhub/udav
                      

                      So, yeah, plug it in then check dmesg and the system log.

                        This means :

                        e37b9eed-02bf-47d9-9a85-11d808fddab8-image.png

                        what ?

                        I do not see "FreeBSD" in that list.

                        Questions related to this device and 'pfsense' can be found on amazon.
                        Even this : https://static.amazon.fr/ask/questions/TxX2AE7DBIDUXI/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza ( with a possible solution ? )

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                          I think this line indicates it only has one config index:

                          bNumConfigurations = 0x0001
                          

                          So not possible to set a different one as linked there.

                          But, I agree, this looks like it might be the cheaper device. The TP-Link NIC may well work by setting an alternate config index. @sscleber ?
