I have a card using the ral driver, but it has been far from stable. I've experienced various problems the last few releases, and after upgrading to 6.2-PRERELEASE, any attempt to run ifconfig on this card gives a kernel panic. I've not done any serious attempts at troubleshooting this since I don't really need the card. I believe the card was branded Bay Networks something something, I could check that up if anyone wants to know. rambo# uname -a FreeBSD rambo.401.cx 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #2: Sun Oct 1 04:54:40 CEST 2006 root@rambo.401.cx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RAMBO i386 rambo# grep ^ral /var/run/dmesg.boot ral0: <Ralink Technology RT2500> irq 18 at device 13.0 on pci0 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2560 (rev 0x04), RF RT2525 ral0: Ethernet address: 00:11:50:15:71:94 ral0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
