FreeBSD eeeve 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #0: Sat Feb 28 13:25:00 PST 2009 root@eeeve:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ASUS-EEEPC-901-8.0 i386
The ral(4) driver does not support the RT2860 chipset. The website run by the original author of the driver indicates that the original author is now focusing on OpenBSD, and a quick search through the OpenBSD CVS commit mailing list shows that the RT2860 chipset has been supported there since last November.
Build and install an up-to-date 8.0-CURRENT kernel including the devices listed in the ral(4) manual page. Boot verbosely, and see the following lines of dmesg output:
ACPI: Found matching pin for 1.0.INTA at func 0: 11
pci1: <ACPI PCI bus> on pcib4
pci1: domain=0, physical bus=1

pcib4: matched entry for 1.0.INTA (src \\_SB_.LNKD:0)
pcib4: slot 0 INTA routed to irq 11 via \\_SB_.LNKD
pci1: <network> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pci0:1:0:0: Transition from D0 to D3
The simplistic answer is to import all the changes from the OpenBSD driver that aren't currently in the FreeBSD driver, but I doubt it's that simple.
