I picked up a Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54-EU today (ral(4) mentions WLI-U2-KG54-xx
as supported sticks).  I haven't been able to make it to talk to any other
WLAN device so far.  Instead, I'm getting random kernel panics on both
i386 and evbarm architectures when running ifconfig on ral0.  Like this:

root@mokki-gw ~ # ifconfig ral0 mode 11g
root@mokki-gw ~ # Fatal kernel mode data abort: 'Alignment Fault 3'
