I just went to both Realtek and Google, and it looks like the only driver so far is for MS-Windows.

Nothing for Linux, and FreeBSD drivers tend to lag behind Linux.

You might need a USB-stick wireless adapter for FreeBSD.

I have Hiro H50191 bought from Tiger Direct, chipset RTL8191SU, works as device rsu in FreeBSD 10 or later.

Hiro website is www.hiroinc.com .
