>Description:
Wireless cards using the ral chipset aren't declared in the GENERIC kernel.
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert a wireless card that is using a ral chipset and it wont get recognized even if you have cardbus enabled.
>Fix:
add this:

#ral*    at cardbus? function ?  # ralink wifi

to the GENERIC kernel (seems it has to be commented like the other cardbus network cards devices)
