I have heard that Realtek can be real difficult when it comes to drivers. I know you can buy USB dongles, but since this card is (I think) #1 seller on Amazon UK, I thought it would work out-of-the-box. I saw a post here which someone apparently managed to get it to work, but there are no details on how they did it (and I think they had Atheros instead of Realtek). I have looked at adding and removing various lines of config to the nf and rc.conf, but nothing seems to work. However, as expected, the wireless card was not showing up with ifconfig as I used the 32-bit driver. However, when I used the 32-bit version, ndisgen worked, and so did all of the other steps in the guide. Click to expand.So when I download the Windows XP 64-bit version and went through the guide step by step, having to correct 1 syntax error in the INF file, ndisgen produced an error, asking if I am sure that I am using the correct INF file (I had to remove FreeBSD and install Linux so I cannot remember the exact error verbatim).
