Thanks in advanced

Ralink RT3062 isn't  listed in the ral man page, are you sure it's supported?

wlan0: changing name to 'ral0_wlan1'
ral0: only 1 vap supported

suggests there is already a 'ral0_wlan0' and your card only supports one Virtual AP. No sign of it in dmesg though. Odd.

pfSense starts the wlan numbering at [ifname]_wlan1.

@razzfazz:

pfSense starts the wlan numbering at [ifname]_wlan1.

My one and only is called 'ath0_wlan0'.

Hah… Just saw that that's actually what you get when you just assign the "ath0" parent to a (logical) interface (which seems a bit inconsistent -- the actual network interface is the ath0_wlanX child, not ath0 itself). I had previously always created a wlan instance on the "wireless" tab, and these do start at 1.
