OK, the ale(4) driver does not load external firmware.
Your dmesg is from bsd.mp, not bsd.rd. Is ale0 functional when running bsd.rd? Does "ifconfig ale0" produce the same status and configuration information on bsd.mp and bsd.rd? If they're the same, both show active connection and the same 192.168.1.64/24 configuration, then
While running the ramdisk kernel:
Inspect the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and the output of "route -n show -inet". Do you see an obvious problem? If not....
Ping the nameserver(s) mentioned in the /etc/resolv.conf. Can you ping each successfully? Can you ping 8.8.8.8 successfully? If not...
Post that /etc/resolv.conf and the output of the route show command.
