RAT requires the card to support full duplex and for full duplex to
work correctly.  I've just moved and don't have the test code I've
used when writing drivers available at the moment for you to be able
to run diagnostics.

Cards that I know RAT works with on fbsd are:
      mss compatible cards
      cs4281
      cmi8x38
      sonicvibes (driver not in -stable or 4.3release)
      als4000	 (ditto - will put on a web page when settled in)      
      es137x

Cards that I have been led to believe RAT does not work with:
      maestro-1e (will investigate shortly as flatmate has one)

You might want to try VAT which works in either full-duplex or
half-duplex configurations.

Kind Regards
