Alternatively, you can buy a cheap USB wireless device
that *is* supported, till you can get the Realtek stuff sorted out.

Seems like a good idea but how harde is that to research? If I look into NewEgg under Computer Hardware > Networking > Wireless Networking > Wireless Adapters, the lowest price USB adapter is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833180074
for US$8.99, not expensive.
But it does not mention the chipset and the feedback has 1 user saying that he installed it under Linux with difficulty.

Another one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166049
is US$11.99 and 2 users say it installed out of the box in Linux, but don't mention the distrubution, 1 user says it installed with Ubuntu. The details don't mention the chipset either.
