 Hi,
 
 I just want to confirm this bug. I tried to get it to work with a clean 6.2-stable snapshot. The correct module is loaded at startup, but scanning for networks fails (no error, it just doesn't show the networks in range).
 
 System:
 FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE-200703 #0: Tue Mar  6 22:06:57 UTC 2007
     root at dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
 
 Dmesg:
 ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2561> mem 0xcfff0000-0xcfff7fff irq 16 at device 12.0 on pci0
 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527
 ral0: Ethernet address: 00:80:5a:4d:55:3a
 
 Ifconfig:
 ral0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
 	ether 00:80:5a:4d:55:3a
 	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
