        This is already in the kernel:

        Wireless NIC cards

        device wlan # 802.11 support
        device wlan_wep
        device wlan_ccmp
        device wlan_tkip
        device wlan_xauth
        device wlan_acl
        device ath
        device ath_rate_sample
        device ath_hal
        device an # Aironet 4500/4800 802.11 wireless NICs.
        device awi # BayStack 660 and others
        device ral             # Ralink Technology RT2500 wireless NICs.
        device wi # WaveLAN/Intersil/Symbol 802.11 wireless NICs.
        device wl # Older non 802.11 Wavelan wireless NIC.

        notice the device ral line. So none of the things you have done should be necessary.

        If the card is not detected then the detection string is not correct (assuming the card/chip is supported). mail the freebsd-mobile list for help.

          Seems the updated ral driver is not present in releng_6.
          That might explain it.

              If this is present and working in FBSD 6.1 then it will also work in pfsense 1.0 RC2.

              Everything is loaded, and should work as long as your card is detected.

              Please post the dmesg of your pfsense install, and provide some info on your HW setup.

              Noen of the links you have posted has anything usefull regarding this setup. we already do the exact same stuff in pfsense. So as long as you card is detected, you should be good to go.
