Yep, seems to be an ale(4):

  chip=0x10261969 == 0x1026 (DEVICEID_ATHEROS_AR81XX),
                     0x1969 (VENDORID_ATHEROR).

I am wondering why pciconf mentions "Gigabit Ethernet" while
the spec says 10/100 MBit. Has you Eee 901 Gigabit Ethernet?

pciconf says:

  none4@pci1:0:0:	class=0x028000 card=0x27901814 chip=0x07811814
                        rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
      vendor   = 'Ralink Technology, Corp'
      class    = network

By looking at some Linux pages it seems to be the RT2860.

DragonFly doesn't seem to support the RT2860, at least not through the 
ral(4) driver. OpenBSD supports it:
