When trying to scan AP ( ifconfig ral0 scan ) BSSID, CHAN RATE S:N INT and CAPS infos seems correct but NOT the SSID ( always SSID : 0 ) When trying to associate, status is still at "no carrier" In 7.0-CURRENT : All seems to work ( both scanning and association ) but _sometimes_ the card disassociate itself, and it's impossible to reassociate until reboot. On OpenBSD-4.1 : All works _perfectly_ Output of dmesg : ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527 ral0: Ethernet address: 00:19:5b:23:10:88 ral0: [GIANT-LOCKED] >How-To-Repeat: Just insert a RT2561* chipset into a fresh 6.2-STABLE install and try to load if_ral (as module or into the kernel) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
