Description Steven Friedrich 2021-03-10 19:21:43 UTC 
During boot, this message appears, but it doesn't appear in dmesg

ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE2: Device not configured

After I plug the Netgear A6100 AC600  DB Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8811AU] in, I get

ugen0.5: <Realtek 802.11ac WLAN Adapter> at usbus0

Applicable lines from /etc/rc.conf:

wlans_rtwn0="wlan0"

I am able to use the wireless connection just fine.

I have these lines in my custom kernel:
