Hi All,

        I recently bought a DWL-G510 because i thought it
        was supported on freebsd 6.2 trough ral device.

        Unfortunately it happens that this card is a rev C2
        model and, as I found later , this seem to not be
        correctly handled :(

        This is how the card is seen by the system:

        00:13.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2561/RT61 rev B 802.11g
        Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DWL-G510 Rev C
        Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 32, IRQ 255
        Memory at f4800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]
        Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2

        Actually the if_ral module loads but it fails to associate:

ral0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ether 00:15:e9:b3:79:14
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/1Mbps)
        status: no carrier
        ssid homenet channel 5
        authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit wepkey 2:40-bit
        wepkey 3:40-bit wepkey 4:40-bit txpowmax 100 bmiss 7 protmode CTS
        bintval 100

        
        it keeps searching for the channel (it changes every time I do
        an ifconfig ral0)

        I saw that someone has filed a bug report on it (kern/109227),
        but no progress so far.
        
        The bug reports stats that the cards works on FreeBSD 7.0, 
        but as far as I tried it doesn't work for me.

        I tried with ndisgen too without success.

        The cards comes up but It doesn't associate.

        Does anyone have any hint?

Thanks in advance

Andrea.
