Can you provide more details on which product you are trying to use the RealTek network hardware with? It would help us determine which kernel branch to target for a fix.

Thanks for asking, current already supported drivers for Intel,Broadcom, Mellanox's net card. however, look at the market, most of product was produced with RelTek's net work chipset. so we have to complied the driver for them, what is why I suggest to add driver for RelTek.

I'm use RTL8168, I complied the ko files by myself. so just my suggestion,not a issue, sorry about that.

@SZsmartest I agree those are common chipsets and I'm in favor of adding support for them. I was just asking which NI products you are planning to use them with because the ARM/Zynq based products like cRIO-906x, myRIO, roboRIO use a different kernel branch vs. Intel based controllers. In other words I'm just trying to figure out which kernel branches to submit the changes in.
