I looked around a little and it looks like this card has a RealTek 8180L 
chipset. I don't believe FreeBSD supports that chipset yet... However, 
you should be able to get it working using the NDIS stuff (NDISulator or 
Project Evil, or whatever it's called) a simple explanation is on 
http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt for the semi experienced. also man 
ndis. for more info google with ndis and freebsd, you should get plenty 
of info.
