Does this driver work with freebsd? #167

I'm a linux user but I put freebsd on an old 32 bit laptop because they still support the video chip and 32 bit which linux is abandoning. The laptop's whole purpose is to access local webpages related to 3d printing. I have this dongle and grabbed the source then attempted a make. Fairly standard stuff. But under freebsd this is what I got:

The drivers that come from Realtek all have conditional statements that say #ifdef PLATFORM_FREEBSD. If you checkout commit 49e94c4a2006d3c6234, you will get that version. I have no idea if it will work.
