Both eth0 and ra0 attached to Ethernet??

[estratos]

Hi all! New user here!

In order to enable wifi in my PogoPlug Pro, I've been following this how-to page:
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=2031

The only difference is that I'm using WEP instead of WPA encryption. Well, everything seemed to work since ra0 was created at startup without apparent problems, but then I realized that ra0 was in fact attached to Ethernet and not to the wifi port:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 metric 1
inet 192.168.1.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::225:31ff:fe00:fe2d prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>

')

So I have now two interfaces attached to the same Ethernet port. Whenever I unplug Ethernet I loose both connections to my PogoPlug.

This is the portion of rc.conf where both interfaces and gateways are created:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
#Static IP example
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
#eth0="dhcp"
ra0="ra0 192.168.1.20 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 ra0)

gateway_eth0="default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 0 dev eth0"
gateway_ra0="default gw 192.168.1.1 metric 1 dev ra0"
ROUTES=(gateway_eth0 gateway_ra0)
')

On the otehr hand, the above tutorial asks to do this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
/bin/cp -rfv /tmp/ce/etc/Wireless/RT2860STA /etc/Wireless
')

whilst the wireless driver is rt3390sta and not rt2860sta. Could this be the source of the problem?

Any suggestion is welcome! Thanks!

Daniel.
