Another appropriate dmesg line would have been the OS version and
the architecture it runs on ;)

More likely a problem in the ral(4) driver itself.
Can you try to modify your /etc/hostname.ral0 like this:
mediaopt hostap nwid seenothing.org chan 11 nwkey foobarfoobarf up
Nope, same thing. Kernel panics and drops to the debugger.
(ie put the "up" at the end).
Otherwise, the card will be reset about 4 times.
Thanks,
