It might be that the driver module is not loaded. Could you reboot, plug the
card in (hopefully get the same messages) and send me the output of
# kldstat
If if_ray.ko does not appear in the list we have to fix that first. This is
easy to do:
# kldload if_ray
should do the trick - although you might need to check the path.

Thanks - at this stage everything is looking "okay".

Just to let you know, getting the card to work might take a couple of spins
around a tedious loop of trying to get a correct memory map set up. Once this
is sorted the driver works pretty well - good enough for buildworlds (albeit
slowly!).
