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

[xedos832]

This is the actual configuration :

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:

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

sudo -s -H then :

# pkg ins usb_modeswitch-2.6.0_1

# usb_modeswitch -KW -v 0bda -p 1a2b

it gives that result:

# usbconfig

...ugen3.3: <802.11ax WLAN Adapter Realtek Semiconductor Corp.> at usbus3, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL (12Mbps) pwr=ON (500mA)

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

That's what I found in a post hope will be useful:
