Support for Realtek's RTL8185L chip

[Aldrox]

Dear Gentlemen,

I plan to setup a simple, unexpensive wireless router based on FreeBSD 8.1,
but as I managed to find out, there is no support for Realtek RTL8185L chip,
which
is part of the server's hardware to be used. I wouldn't like to move from
FreeBSD to
Linux (which supports it), or even buy another wireless NIC. So I ask: Are
there plans
to support it any time soon, or some work in progress on the matter?

Although I am not a programmer, I would gladly help to try alpha or beta
drivers,
or whatever I could do to improve RTL8185L driver development under FreeBSD.

Thanks for your attention.

Regards.
