FreeBSD eeeve 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Feb 28 13:25:00 PST 2009 root@eeeve:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ASUS-EEEPC-901-8.0 i386
>Description:
The ral(4) driver does not support the RT2860 chipset. The website run by the original author of the driver indicates that the original author is now focusing on OpenBSD, and a quick search through the OpenBSD CVS commit mailing list shows that the RT2860 chipset has been supported there since last November.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install an up-to-date 8.0-CURRENT kernel including the devices listed in the ral(4) manual page. Boot verbosely, and see the following lines of dmesg output:
ACPI: Found matching pin for 1.0.INTA at func 0: 11
pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4
pci1: domain=0, physical bus=1
found-> vendor=0x1814, dev=0x0781, revid=0x00

powerspec 3 supports D0 D3 current D0
MSI supports 32 messages, 64 bit
map[10]: type Memory, range 32, base 0xfbef0000, size 16, enabled
pcib4: requested memory range 0xfbef0000-0xfbefffff: good
pcib4: matched entry for 1.0.INTA (src \\_SB_.LNKD:0)
pcib4: slot 0 INTA routed to irq 11 via \\_SB_.LNKD
pci1: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:1:0:0: Transition from D0 to D3
>Fix:
The simplistic answer is to import all the changes from the OpenBSD driver that aren't currently in the FreeBSD driver, but I doubt it's that simple.
