That is not really important. Your card is based on ralink chipset. hostapd(8) links to ral(4) - meaning
someone tested ralink based card and confirmed that hostapd works with it. Authenticator types here are
not really important - wpa2/wep are at higher level of operation and there should not be any problems using
ralink based cards under hostapd with WPA2 configured on curent FreeBSD net80211 code.
If you want 100% correct proof ask freebsd devs on @net mailing list.
On other hand - atheros based cards should work with hostapd+WPA2.
