 Hello,
 
 I've seen that RT2860 support has been MFC'd to 9-STABLE (great!) and
 gave it a shot. My ral device is:
 
 ral0 at pci0:2:0:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x130f1043 chip=0x07811814
 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Ralink corp.'
     device     = 'RT2860'
     class      = network
 
 uname:
 FreeBSD block.xn--pl-wia.net 9.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE #1
 r241898+9dad7f0: Tue Oct 23 21:58:07 CEST 2012
 
 The driver attaches and I get a ral0 interface, but it seems not to
 function. Kernel logs say:
 
 ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2790> mem 0xfe8f0000-0xfe8fffff irq 16 at
