Realtek Wifi-USB-Stick not working

Hello,
i bought yesterday a Realtek 8811cu based USB-Stick for Haiku. But unfortunately its not showing up in the Network-Application. Is there a Solution/Driver/Fix for this Problem?

I love Haiku, its so nice - i would like to get it working with USB-Wifi.

Thanx for any Help/Answer.

Looking online, it appears to be a WinModem, only Windows drivers available, & even they don’t seem to work very well!

I bought a couple cheaply, to try out, but the only time it worked was under Ubuntu, but the next time I tried, next time I booted up, it didn’t work!

I bought a Wifi-Extender with a Gigabit-LAN-Port. This Solution is perfect working. Its the D-Link EXO AX1800 Wifi Extender. Only 15 Euros at Saturn in Germany.

It works with every WLAN-Router - even the non Mesh-Models like mine. I had only to make the Setup over Cable in the Webbrowser-Interface and not the Smartphone-App.

Its working now perfectly. Its very fast (Wifi 6) and has no compatibility Issues, because i am using the LAN-Port now. And by the Way: It was cheap compared to a Wifi 6 (AX) Stick.

The Realtek-Chipset-USB-Stick i bought is not FreeBSD compatible at the Moment. Thanks for your help and advice.
I found a Solution from your Advice. Otherwise i could get mad without getting it running.
