Building Opnsense on a laptop with a USB NIC. I've tried a few models from amazon and they all seem to do the same thing. On the console I get the following:
ue0:Link state changed to UP
ue0:Link state changed to DOWN
ue0:Link state changed to UP
ue0:Link state changed to DOWN
...etc
Anyway to fix this or do I need a desktop computer? As mention this happens on 2 different USB NICs.
Thank you,

Tried different USB ports, reboots, etc.
Trying to use IDS/IPS?
Not specifically unless its turned on by default?
Base install no config changes.
OK. USB Ethernet is not well supported. Probably not a suitable platform. Sorry for you, FreeBSD is picky about the hardware. But once running it's the most stable platform I've ever used. And I'm "I used SunOS ... and System V ... and Xenix" old.
There's some USB debugging options that may help you:
hw.usb.wmt.debug: 0
hw.usb.ums.debug: 0
hw.usb.ukbd.debug: 0
hw.usb.uhid.debug: 0
hw.usb.ucom.debug: 0
hw.usb.proc.debug: 0
hw.usb.uhub.debug: 0
hw.usb.ugen.debug: 0
hw.usb.dev.debug: 0
hw.usb.debug: 0
hw.usb.umass.debug: 0
hw.usb.ctrl.debug: 0
hw.usb.xhci.debug: 0
hw.usb.uhci.debug: 0
hw.usb.ohci.debug: 0
hw.usb.ehci.debug: 0
I'd start with sysctl -x hw.usb.debug=1
