Hi, folks.
Since recently, I have a new DELL Optiplex 3050 SFF (Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SDD, two low profile PCIe slots) with preinstalled MS Windows 10.
As I need a wireless connection to my home hotspot, the machine is equipped with an USB WiFi adapter - Netis WF2119S (chipset RealTek RTL8188EUS) that works perfectly under Windows.
It took me several weeks to setup Win10 (remove different "Apps" that change the computer to a funfair) and customize the Windows GUI to what I am used to. That is why I had to be very careful in all following steps.
Next I enhanced the machine by an additional 2.5" hard disk using an internal SATA PCIe card, partitioned the new HDD for UEFI booting (using gpart(8)) and installed FreeBSD 11.2 RELEASE from a USB stick. After many attempts and failures I am able to dual boot either Windows or FreeBSD.
Now the problem:
Relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf is
Now I can
However,
shows download speed 1kBps or less.
I'm unable to download and install any additional tools for doing some more sophisticated tests.
An interesting observation was done when I removed and reinserted the USB WiFi adapter while running FreeBSD. Then
Suddenly the previous
Unfortunatelly after rebooting the speed is again low.
So I suspect some startup timing problem since the
Any hints and/or ideas are highly appreciated.

Relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf is
Code:
rc_info="YES" # Enables display of informational messages at boot.
hostname="FreeBSD-MY.my-net.tld"
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="NO"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1 up"
ifconfig_re0="NOAUTO"
wlans_urtwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="SYNCDHCP WPA ssid my-ssid mode 11g -powersave"
Now I can
# ping 8.8.8.8
successfully - ICMP works - round-trip time around 20ms.# ping google-public-dns-a.google.com
works - DNS is functional.However,
# fetch -o /dev/null --no-verify-peer https://ME:MY-PWD@well-working-webserver/files/100MB-file.bin
shows download speed 1kBps or less.
I'm unable to download and install any additional tools for doing some more sophisticated tests.
An interesting observation was done when I removed and reinserted the USB WiFi adapter while running FreeBSD. Then
# service netif restart
Suddenly the previous
fetch
command provided satisfactory speed around 1MBps.Unfortunatelly after rebooting the speed is again low.
So I suspect some startup timing problem since the
rc
scripts probably finish before the USB devices are fully discovered (as can be seen on the console).Any hints and/or ideas are highly appreciated.
