This bug has been present since FreeBSD 11, at least. What exactly is the bug? FreeBSD doesn't create a network interface for the dongle when it's plugged in before booting, or something else? Could you provide a dmesg? I just tried booting a server running -CURRENT with an AX88179 plugged in and didn't observe any problems. A ue0 interface was created and the link was up.
