      Hello everyone,

      Whenever I restart pfSense I have to disconnect and reconnect
      my USB wireless adapter so the firmware can be loaded.

      I also have to reconfigure pfSense via the web interface every
      time I reboot my system.

      Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
      Can anyone help me with this issue?

      Thanks in advance.

        Have you added the needed line to the "loader.conf.local"

        here a Ralink based USB Wireless adapter example

        
runfw_load="yes"

        add the line according to Your USB wireless Chipset / Driver
