The ral(4) driver does not support the RT2860 chipset. The website run by the original author of the driver indicates that the original author is now focusing on OpenBSD, and a quick search through the OpenBSD CVS commit mailing list shows that the RT2860 chipset has been supported there since last November. Fix: The simplistic answer is to import all the changes from the OpenBSD driver that aren't currently in the FreeBSD driver, but I doubt it's that simple. How-To-Repeat: Build and install an up-to-date 8.0-CURRENT kernel including the devices listed in the ral(4) manual page. Boot verbosely, and see the following lines of dmesg output: ACPI: Found matching pin for 1.0.INTA at func 0: 11 pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4 pci1: domain=0, physical bus=1 found-> vendor=0x1814, dev=0x0781, revid=0x00 domain=0, bus=1, slot=0, func=0 class=02-80-00, hdrtype=0x00, mfdev=0 cmdreg=0x0007, statreg=0x0010, cachelnsz=8 (dwords) lattimer=0x00 (0 ns), mingnt=0x00 (0 ns), maxlat=0x00 (0 ns) intpin=a, irq=11 powerspec 3 supports D0 D3 current D0 MSI supports 32 messages, 64 bit map[10]: type Memory, range 32, base rxfbef0000, size 16, enabled pcib4: requested memory range 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff: good pcib4: matched entry for 1.0.INTA (src \\_SB_.LNKD:0) pcib4: slot 0 INTA routed to irq 11 via \\_SB_.LNKD pci1: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) pci0:1:0:0: Transition from D0 to D3
