I recently upgraded my hackintosh to Snow Leopard and got it to boot up and everything but now I'm trying to get all of my drivers to work - the main one being wifi.

I have an RTL8187b card. The Realtek WLAN Client worked on 10.5.8 but now it doesn't respond when I open it. I also have the kext installed for 10.5.X. Thats probably why it's not working for me...

How do I make it work for Snow Leopard? Is there some kind of patch I need to do? Did Realtek come out with the official 10.6 driver?
