I have upgraded my computer to Snow Leopard 10.6 but am having much trouble with Wifi. I am using a RTL8187b Wifi Card and can't get it to work with Snow Leopard! Can someone please provide me with a working driver and precise instructions on how to install?

I tried using the RTL8187b driver from the kext pack 00010 provided but it didn't work. I also tried following instructions I followed online to download the 10.4 driver from Realtek and then patch it by changing the VersionID to 33175 from 33161 but that didn't work either. When I say it didn't work I mean that the Realtek WLAN USB Client bounces up and down and then "Stops responding"

I really need help with this!
