I think I misread...Alexsandr, you're saying you're using "rt2860" 
driver in Zrouter tree, but with 3090 modifications? I think I read that 
*(somehow) as you had something closer to OpenBSD's ral.

So does yours attach as a ral? or as an rt2860?....Originally I just 
took rt2860 and adapted it's softc and both drivers attach so that it 
would be one driver. I merged a lot of the code into one file, which in 
retrospect has the advantage of being more similar to OpenBSD, but the 
disadvantage of size! My original goal was to be able to do side-by-side 
comparison with OpenBSD's ral and get them "similar". The rt2860 I used 
had 3090 adaptations, as that's the only card I have to test with.

If you have a more up to date version of rt2860, and it's attaching as 
rt2860...it would be trivial to use the softc & if_ral_pci.c I have to 
make them all "ral" instead of rt2860 & ral.
If it's already attaching as ral, then you would have the same thing I 
have, albeit perhaps with a newer code base?

Sorry for my confusion...is the zrouter tree the same as the hg repo on 
zrouter.org?

Thanks!
