This task enables systems to connect to a network, as well as collect all component characteristics such as manufacturer and chipset. However, in order to make use of all network card (adapter) features, you must install a proper LAN driver that enables the hardware. Windows platforms generally apply a generic driver that allows motherboards to recognize the Ethernet component. Generic users please use the 'setup.exe' to install driver. NOTE: Manual installation is a kind of method of installation by advanced user. To install driver manually, please open Device Manager, expand the Network adapters tree list, select the 'Realtek FE/Gbe Family Controller', and click right button, execute the menu item Update driver., and follow the direction to indicate the path of INF file. Manual installation is to install driver by the installation file (INF) rather than use the 'setup.exe' mentioned above. The usage of 'AutoInst.exe' is the same as 'Setup.exe'. If garbled text is displayed, please use 'AutoInst.exe' to install/uninstall driver again. To install driver, you should have administrator's privilege. Please stop all the automatic installation by Windows system. On Plug and Play Windows platforms, the adapter will be identified and configured automatically. Follow the instructions displayed by the setup.exe program Locate and launch the executive file 'setup.exe' from the newly-created folder. To install the driver, proceed as follows Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified. If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. This package contains the files needed for installing the Realtek FE/GbE Controller LAN driver.
