ral0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "Ralink RT2860" rev 0x00: irq 11, address 00:0e:8e:20:84:94 ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x0102), RF RT2850 (2T3R) I'm having a different issue where the clients are connecting momentarily and then disconnecting. When I have a moment I'm going to throw this card in a spare desktop I have to rule out an issue with the hardware or driver under 4.4-stable. I'll update the list when I test this. Cheers, -C
