Hey appreciate the info and would love to get mine up and running, but
the version of the if_ral_pci.c that I have is 1.2.x.x something. I'm
running 6.2 p4. Which cvs tag did you use to get the 1.5 version of
the ral driver...
Thanks,
Christopher Prance

Looking at the zipfile for the windows driver, I see the following;

Version 4.0 has a RealTek 2500 chipset which is supported by if_ral(4).

Looking at rt61.sys with strings(1) reveals;
rt2561.bin
rt2561s.bin
rt2661.bin
Which indicates it uses a Ralink Technology RT2561 chip, which is also
supported by if_ral(4) in -STABLE. I applied the patch from -STABLE to
6.2-RELEASE, and it works for me. I've got version 1.5 of if_ral_pci.c
It is bloody annoying that you have to go plowing through the drivers to see
what chip is inside.
