Derek, Although Realtek cards have a long history of being supported in Linux, the particular card you have isn't supported. I have a laptop with the same wifi card and have beaten my head against it for many hours trying to get it to work with no success. If your laptop has a pcmcia card, you can pick up a pcmcia card pretty reasonably priced. If not, you can get a usb wifi card. The only thing I would caution you in this is to make sure you get one that uses an Atheros chipset. They are always plug-n-play after configuring the security measures.
