Hi I've installed a fresh copy of 8-CURRENT 05/09 AMD64 snapshot on my laptop which has a ralink pci express mini card, the device is detected by the kernel correctly & the rum driver attaches however the card doesn't work, ifconfig rum0 scan or list scan results in: ifconfig: unable to get scan results. I've only just signed up to this list but I've had a brief look through the archive for the last month or so & I see that rwatson@ posted about drivers which are flagged with IFF_NEEDSGIANT are to be removed & rum(4) is one of them, looking at repository it looks like a new rum driver was put into place 8 days ago, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/usb/wlan/if_rum.c

The USB WLAN drivers work if you use wpa_supplicant.
