How to use an external wifi/bluetooth dongle like AX900 brosTrend instead of internals ones and how configure it?

This is the actual configuration :
Code: 
pc-hp@freebsd:~ $ sudo usbconfig | grep -B0 ugen5.2
ugen5.2: <Bluetooth 2.0 Interface [Broadcom BCM2045] HP, Inc> at usbus5, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (0mA)
pc-hp@freebsdp:~ $ pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network
bwn_pci0@pci0:2:0:0:    class=0x028000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x14e4 device=0x4315 subvendor=0x103c subdevice=0x137d
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries'
    device     = 'BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY'
    class      = network
re0@pci0:3:0:0:class=0x020000 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8168 subvendor=0x103c subdevice=0x3629
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
    class      = network
pc-hp@freebsd:~ $ dmesg -a | grep -B1 ubt0
ugen5.2: <Broadcom Corp HP Integrated Module> at usbus5
ubt0 on uhub7
ubt0: <Broadcom Corp HP Integrated Module, class 224/1, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2> on usbus5
and when I plug in new device i can see it with:
Code: 
pc-hp@freebsd:~ $ sudo usbconfig | grep -B0 ugen3.3
ugen3.3: <RTL8188GU 802.11n WLAN Adapter (Driver CDROM Mode) Realtek Semiconductor Corp.> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)
Look it is charged like Virtual CDROM and drives are just for windows 10/11
 
I don't know if I need to stop some services like bluetooth stack and virtual_oss ,sndio, and destroy wlandev bwn0 before to configure both services wifi/bluetooth again...

Now I should create a rule to autoswitch at startup:
  • udev rules file: /usr/local/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules
  • Device-specific configuration file: /usr/local/share/usb_modeswitch/[vendor_id]:[product_id]

  • The configuration process involves:
    • Adding a rule to the udev rules file
    • Creating a device-specific configuration file with target information:

    • Configuration Steps:
    • Add to /usr/local/lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:

    • DefaultVendor= 0x0bda
      DefaultProduct= 0x1a2b


    • #802.11ax WLAN Adapter Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
      ATTR{idVendor}=="0bda", ATTR{idProduct}=="1a2b", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '/%k'"

    • Create /usr/local/share/usb_modeswitch/0bda:1a2b with:
  • # 802.11ax WLAN Adapter Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
    TargetVendor= 0x0bda
    TargetProduct=0x1a2b
    StandardEject=1

  • Deactivating USB Mode Switching​

    In some cases, you may need to disable the mode switching functionality:
    1. Edit the configuration file:

      sudo nano /usr/local/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf
    2. Change DisableSwitching=0 to DisableSwitching=1
    3. Reboot the system:

      sudo reboot

i have a similar dual thumb, wifi and bluetooth, but with a different chip, recognized as AIC 88M80, something.
i tried before, when i had installed Slackware 15 as my only OS to unlock and configure that thumb, but i was able to only unlock wi-fi part, not the bluetooth one, so, is now sort of a limbo, is not in disk mode, but not fully unlocked either...

i was able, at that time, to find a github link with some stuff about that... what describe the lad there is exactly the behavior of my thumb.

i was able, following things shown there to unlock wifi part... somehow, but bluetooth part, nope.

if i connect that thumb on my current FreeBSD (15.1) and check dmesg, i get that text, and... no clue of what to do next, to completely unlock that thing, and use both wifi and bluetooth thing.

Code:

the last three messages appeared after i physically disconnected the AX900 thumb, and connected in same usb 3 port my realtek bluetooth thumb... but this realtek one is another story...

any idea, any thought about any missed package(s) to install next of what is already installed trying to solve that problem?

side note, i installed FreeBSD without any bluetooth thumb connected, so, bsdinstall had no idea about this, and i already have eth0 for lan/internet, so, no issue about wifi, but bluetooth. activating wifi on my desktop is a good thing, maybe, but is not really mandatory for me.
