>Description:
The wireless device ral timeouts when is running as an access point using hostapd.
The access point is not accessible after upgrading from RELENG_6 to RELENG_7. It used to work just fine with RELENG_6

The msg looks like this

#dmesg | tail
ral0: device timeout
ral0: device timeout
ral0: device timeout
ral0: device timeout
ral0: device timeout

The man page states that ral0 might not be functional with PCI 2.1
FreeBSD 7 detects my BIOS PCI as 2.1 (however I have 2.2)
#more dmesg.txt | grep pcibios
pcibios: PCI BIOS entry at 0xf0000+0xb4f0
pcibios: BIOS version 2.10

I checked the mobo's specs and they claim that they support PCI 2.2

http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=1579&ProductName=GA-5SMM

Btw, I have the latest BIOS installed.
