USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8198&REV_0200
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8198
i tried the default, I've tried everything! The device manager wont even open for me, it just bounces on the dock forever.

Using Linux you can get Device & Vendor IDs of your PCI components using "lspci -nn" command - there is an Darwin-/OS X-port of lspci avaible here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11… ↗
Using Windoze, you can get IDs - even subset for some components like wireless cards from the device-manager, somewhere in the further details...
Well 0x0BDA is the Vendor ID & 0x8198 is the Product ID of your USB device in this case (don't mess this with informations from PCI database) - you might want to add 0x81980BDA to your kext...
Maybe to Info.plist? I am not familiar with using Realtek USB Wireless devices…
Thought you would know yourself where you want to add those IDs.
Apart from that your device should be RTL8187B - doesn't the manufacturers driver work by default?
