this is an 8180 chipset. 8139 is a wired chipset, 8180l is 802.11b. i
have a similar card made by airolink(or something like that.) realtek
doesn't have drivers for freebsd, but you can check out using
ndiswrapper to get it working. i've had mixed luck with it and
eventually got an atheros card made by d-link which works great in
freebsd. good luck
