Accordingly, if a driver is going to be produced, it is up to one being back engineered: however, there is an active project to do just that, and you can find details at http://rtl-wifi.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installing#Debian.2FUbuntu The project hasn't yet issued any packages, but they have a listing in Subversion where you can obtain the latest code. Some of it has been incorporated into newer kernels, and will work "out of the box" but for users who do not have those kernels, their distros will not be able to connect out of the box - not just gOS, but any Linux distribution. Instructions on how to get and install the latest code is on the project's web page.
