”io0” restart freebsd

I have internet connection using usb port. It says "io0”;
I need internet do download GNOME.
I can’t find answer to this.

Its some kind of loopback connection.
 
If you do ifconfig with it unplugged and ifconfig with it plugged in, are there any differences?
A lot of USB-ethernet dongles use realtek chipsets which may not be included in the installation by default.
That means one needs to download a package in order to use it, but of course you need an interface to do that, so we have chicken and egg.
If you have another system I think you should be able to download a package and load it.

I'm not saying this is the problem but it's a possibility. There should be some info in dmesg or /var/log/messages about the device, usbconfig show_ifdrv (as root gives information about devices and attached drivers)
 
What says usbconfig? The kernel module may still be required because it's not a common device, as Mer said. If it's auto-loaded at boot depends on the model. I have used USB2ethernet dongles that still need a kernel module to get an official network interface.
 
Getting seriously broken bot vibes 🤔

Tone down the rapid fire random remarks.
 
Check /dev to see if a new device gets created when you plug the adapter in.

As root, run # usbconfig -d /dev/ugenX.X dump_device_desc, replacing X.X with the device that was created.
What does this command say?
