That won't work I'm afraid, they are entirely different operating systems. I don't believe that Realtek currently provide public documentation or a FreeBSD driver for this chipset, so I suspect your only option right now is to wait for somebody to write a driver from scratch for it. I'm not aware of any efforts to do this at the moment. FWIW, I have several samples of this chipset that I could potentially provide to somebody willing to write a driver.
