>Description:

RELENG_6 comes with early version of ral driver.  It would seem that
there is support for plenty of new chip versions, including the one I
happen to have, in HEAD, which has not yet found its way into
RELENG_6.  

>How-To-Repeat:

Insert a new minipci card with latest Ralink chip into 6.1 laptop or
embedded device.

>Fix:

Would it be possible to bump the HEAD driver into RELENG_6,
please.

 I've looked at merging ral from HEAD into RELENG_6.
 
 It is a bit complicated since the newer version of the ral driver
 depends on various changes in the net80211 subsystem and bpf.
 
 Especially the bpf changes are a problem, since they seem to
 affect a lot of other device drivers as well. I stopped my merging
 efforts there.
 
 I guess running -CURRENT is the best solution if you really need
 ral support now. I will probably wait for 7.0-RELEASE, and until
 then use my ral card in an OpenBSD box, where it works just fine.

 Would it just be enough to add the chipset ID's so that they would be 
 identified or is there chipset version specific stuff which would also 
 need to be carried over ?
