After some review I have found the following on my system:

dmesg does not output wireless card.
pciconf provides following:

none0@pci0:1:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x27901814 chip=0x07811814 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
    device     = 'Wireless(RT2860/RT2890)'
    class      = network

I also found the following development of FreeBSD 7.2 drivers for the Ralink similar to my card at the following thread: http://forums.freebsd.org/showpost.php? ... stcount=60

Please read all information prior to installation and note this forum is dedicated to FreeBSD exclusively and may not work on your system as it did on mine. Please review the following disclaimer: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=7290

I defer all of the driver support to poster Egorenar (FreeBSD Forum)

Hope this helps.
