[FIXED] El Capitan ASUS PCE-AC56 Drivers

I have a PCE-AC56 wireless card which is a PCI-E based solution. I'm pretty sure it's Broadcom, but I can't figure out how to install drivers I found here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/51725-broadcom-bcm43xx-wireless-driver-beta/

Help would be greaty accpreciated become atm I can't connect to the internet and have to use my school 1:1 Mac

EDIT: I have an old realtek card that I can use for now, but I'd prefer to use the ASUS one since it supports 5 GHz.

REEDIT: Turns out I can't use the Realtek card. I've attached a screenshot of my PCI-E network devices.

REREEDIT: I have an old ASUS USB-N10 wireless adapter that luckily has support for Mac via a driver from ASUS, but it's hella slow. It works, but help with this would be nice. The ASUS wireless card has the BCM4352 chipset in it, and the AirPort thread has no dice for this particular chipset/manufacturer. The Realtek card is a Rosewill RNX-N250PCe with the Realtek RTL8188CE chipset. The 81xx Linux driver port doesn't work.

UPDATE/FIX: ASUS offers drivers for their USB-N10 adapter, which I have. As it turns out, the N10 uses the RTL8188SU chipset, which is similar enough to the RTL8188CE chipset that the driver that ASUS offers is compatible with the PCI-e based solution, despite the fact that the PCEe adapter is made by Rosewill, and while ASUS says the driver works up to OS X 10.9, it does in fact work on 10.11 El Capitan.

I have an RTL8188CE. I installed the driver from here:
https://www.asus.com/US/Networking/USBN10/HelpDesk_Download/

DCPI Manager sees the card, but it doesn't show up in system preferences -> network, and wifi isn't an option when I click the plus and try to add it. Did you have to do anything special to get it to work after installing the driver? I tried rebooting, but it didn't help.

Thanks for any help that you can provide!!!
 
I'm having the same problem as bungus. I have the same exact wireless card and installed the driver for USB-N10 and restarted, but nothing is showing up in the network settings.
