You have a different, more expensive model. Atheros is in HA (the one I
have), you have the 802n ralink chipset. I got my atheros working by
pulling current ath driver from the svn. Do the same for ralink.

svn checkout svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys/dev/ral

put the directory in /usr/src/sys/dev/ral (replace the original). And
rebuild your curnel.

I have issues with sound - it does not support software jack detection,
so using headphones means the speakers are still on :(.
