If no one wants to work on trying to port OpenBSD ral, I can try, but I am still learning very much! http://pastebin.com/GeAGVjtR Please add manually rt2860.c to Makefile @ /usr/src/sys/modules/ral/Makefile Note about patch, it's still alpha quality in that it has a known bug (do not kldunload while interface is running!) and it is largely untested. Changes include softc, pci code & all functions put in monolithic file (to help compare against OpenBSD ral, mainly). They are in the wrong order for now, however. Ultimate plan was to compare side-by-side with OpenBSD ral to assist porting. There is still an "ecosystem" of includes per rt2860 original, didn't get around to combining them.home | help
