RT2860/RT3090/RAL: Any brave testers?

   Hi,

   I tried to use the code with FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT r226440. My system
is an Asus eeePC 1000H with a Ralink RT2860, this is the device info:

         ral0 at pci0:1:0:0:    class=0x028000 card=0x27901814
chip=0x07811814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
        vendor     = 'Ralink corp.'
        device     = 'RT2860'
        class      = network
 
   I had to manually edit sys/dev/ral/if_ral_pci.c, because the card is
identified as a RT2790. I also had to remove device ral from my kernel
config file because it couldn't be linked with the kernel.

   After rebooting the machine, I kldloaded the module by hand. I got an
"The invalid EEPROM LNA gain" and the "could not find extension channel"
errors. I saw a previous post telling us not to worry too much about
them, but I have to say they still appear. This is the exact trace that
I got:

        ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2860> mem 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff irq
19 at device 0.0 on pci1
        ral0: invalid EEPROM LNA gain #2: 0x00
        ral0: invalid EEPROM LNA gain #3: 0x00
        ral0: invalid EEPROM powersave level
        ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x28720200), RF RT3022 2.4G 2T2R
        ral0: skip channel 10, could not find extension channel
        ral0: skip channel 11, could not find extension channel
        ral0: skip channel 12, could not find extension channel
        ral0: skip channel 13, could not find extension channel
        ral0: skip channel 14, could not find extension channel

   I cannot associate with any AP. I changed those AP to ensure they
were not using any of the channels in the range of 10..14 (those
channels are the ones ral0 complains with an skip channel message). I
can't even do an scan, ifconfig wlan0 list scan up returns an empty list.

   How can I proceed further? Can I provide you any additional information?
