Solved RTL8192EU NIC doesn't work

I am posting the solution to a problem I had (according to https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/delete.79813/post-505979)

ORIGINAL QUESTION:
"I have an RTL8192EU USB NIC (WiFi) and it doesn't work. It is getting recognized (and using the if_rtwn_usb and rtwn modules), as I can see in the output of dmesg and usbconfig, but it doesn't show up in ifconfig -a. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting it and resetting it with usbconfig, but it still doesn't work.
I am running FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE"

SOLUTION:
I needed to run ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rtwn0 for the interface to get created
