Realtek has nothing to do with the NIC itself, it's only the PHY. For support for the onboard Nvidia NIC, you'd need to use their binary only nvnet driver, in the nForce driver pack from www.nvidia.com


Binary only NIC driver? What's up with that? If nVidia wants to protect their video driver secrets, fine. But, what are they hiding in their NIC driver? Well, at least their policy isn't binary only and Windows only. That's progress.
