Many thanks for this Aleksandr
I've just compiled & installed a new kernel + rt2860 module with success.
kernel module loads fine & my RT2790 (chip=0x07811814) is detected.
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev rt28600 up
shows wlan0: with my ethernet address but from there ifconfig wlan0
scan or list scan result in nothing
configuring the ssid manually & trying to connect to the AP doesn't work either.
As I hadn't checked this mailing list before starting out this
evening, I was doomed to stw & came across
http://repo.or.cz/w/ralink_drivers.git via the freebsd forum, before
trying your patch, I had successfully build the freebsd 8 driver from
there on current & managed to get the card working, using csup to
update src as a test of connectivity.

I will post dmesg & pciconf output tomorrow once I have an ethernet
cable or removable media near me if you need more info.
