Hey everyone.

I am new to bsd and just installed ghost bsd.

Install was successful.
But there is issue with internet.

I use TP Link type c to rj45 ethernet adapter UE300C.

Whenever I connect it there is internet for few minutes but it disconnects again.
This happens continously

What do I do to rectify this?

Please tell us how your network is setup.

Do you connect directly to the internet with a cable/fiber modem or do you have a router connected?

Do you use DHCP on your ethernet interface/network ?

One end of the rj45 port is connected to the modem and the other end to the type c ethernet adapter. This adapter is connected to my laptop via type c.

While configuring my internet in bsd i saw that it was in DHCP.
 
I had a Type-C to RJ45 adapter that worked on Windows, Linux, and macOS, but not on FreeBSD. The device was recognized correctly on FreeBSD at first, but under some traffic load, it stopped working and I had to manually unplug and then plug it in again.

I inspected the chip manufacturer and searched online to see if there were other cases with the same problem. However, it seemed like I was one of the few people suffering from this issue. Eventually, I figured out that there might be some reverse-engineered chips that would not work with FreeBSD's driver implementation – and I thought that might be my case.

Finally, I purchased a new Type-C to RJ45 adapter, and it worked like a charm.

FYI: The ASIX AX88179A chip works well on FreeBSD. I'm using one that was manufactured by UGREEN.

OK what does ifconfig show you? Is the interface actually down?
Are the lights lit on the USB Ethernet Adapter? Solid color or blinking?

I am wondering if devd is taking the interface down. devd starts the DHCP service.

How about this for test. Boot up without USB Ethernet Adapter and add it after bootup starting the interface manually.
Sometimes USB interfaces do not come up quickly messing with rc.d/devd.
So try and add it in later. See if the problem persisits.

Being this is GhostBSD adds another dimension. They have a network manager running.
