I've got a Dell Dimension 4100 (circa 2000) running FreeBSD 6.2.

I plugged in a Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card, which should
be supported by the 'ral' driver.   However, my pciconf says:

  none2@pci2:9:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00551737 chip=0x03011814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
      vendor   = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
      class    = network

Note that it is labeled as "none2".  Also, then, the boot
messages do not display anything about detecting an ral0 card.
And, therefore the command:

  ifconfig ral0

simply gets

  ifconfig: interface ral0 does not exist

Has anyone had any luck getting this card and the ral driver
working with FreeBSD 6.2?
