RT2860 NDIS needs rate.bin, where is it?

NDIS finally works again in 8.0-CURRENT so I thought I'd try to get my 
RT2860 wireless working.  I built the rt2860_sys.ko using ndisgen and 
copied rt2860.bin into /compat/ndis and kldloaded the new module.  NDIS 
complains that it can't open /compat/ndis/rate.bin with errno 2.  I 
don't have a rate.bin to give it, there wasn't one in the Windows bundle 
or the Linux one though it is referenced in the Linux driver source 
code.  I tried copying rt2860.bin to rate.bin but that didn't work.

I tried starting wpa_supplicant anyway, and got this:

Starting wpa_supplicant.
ioctl[SIOCG80211, op 98, len 32]: Invalid argument
ELOOP: remaining socket: sock=5 eloop_data=0x28407140

/etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant: WARNING: failed to start wpa_supplicant
