Sadly, no BSD supports it yet. All the projects have their man pages online and you can also run apropos(1) for Realtek to double check that.

You can purchase them new for under $5.
This adapter http://www.ebay.com/itm/230973235744
was the adapter I was using (and still use) in my SGI O2 when I made this commit:
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=137703728905279&w=2
so I can tell you they work and they work well. I've recommended them to people who want cheap wifi and don't mind the firmware downloads (I know people who do mind, and I can understand that, but that's a separate issue). It's a urtwn(4).
