I recently upgraded my Hackintosh to Snow Leopard and my wifi stopped working :'(

I got kernel panics by trying to fix it and in the end just deleted my entire Extensions folder and reinstalled Snow Leopard. I have a Realtek Wifi Card RTL8187b as seen at the bottom of this page: rea ltek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true#RTL8187B

I looked all over but everything I tried didn't work. Can someone please give me precise directions with all the needed tools/drivers to install RTL8187b on Snow Leopard 10.6?

P.S: I did try downloading the 10.5 driver from realtek but it didn't work..
