Otaclio:

I don't know the reason either and that is why I am asking for
suggestions on how to identify and resolve my issues.  I captured some
console messages that may provide additional insight.

With Belkin USB Device

Jun 26 19:09:02 fbsd11 kernel: ugen0.2: <vendor 0x0bda> at usbus0
Jun 26 19:09:02 fbsd11 kernel: urtwn0: <vendor 0x0bda product 0x8191, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 1> on usbus0

With Edimax N150N Device

Jun 26 19:10:01 fbsd11 kernel: ugen0.2: <vendor 0x7392> at usbus0
Jun 26 19:10:01 fbsd11 kernel: urtwn0: <vendor 0x7392 product 0x7811, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2> on usbus0
Jun 26 19:10:01 fbsd11 kernel: urtwn0: MAC/BB RTL8188CUS, RF 6052 1T1R

Ifconfig messages after either urtwn insertion.

It looks like the device gets identified, but the kernel module just
doesn't like something with either Realtek urtwn network hardware.  I
have a spare hard disk and will load a fresh snapshot of FreeBSD 11.0
tomorrow and I'll report to the list if anything is different.  I
receive the same results with either my 'amd64' and BeagleBone Black
computers.  Both of my urtwn network interfaces are detected and
usable on another computer that is running FreeBSD 10.3 Release-P5.
