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.
