Vincent, Thank you for the share. Yes, I do know I can "hide" it. I'd like to find out WHY "it" keeps popping up month after month.
I do have a fix (new hard cards!), if necessary. And, I do know that this (my) fix works (tested/confirmed 8 yrs ago)! Odd because MS seems to accept my still running older 2 Marvell on-board NICS!
Confused I remain....... :) Please forgive my curiosity. I'd like to know. Best, Duncan On 02/10/2010 18:21, Vincent Winterling wrote:
Seems so, I was getting it in Vista too. I finally just chose to hide it.

My Asus m/b's do use Realtek on-board NIC chips. I use them. For the past 6-8 months, MS WinUpdate suggests that I STILL need to update my driver for: Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigbit Ethernet NIC OK. Fine.... I have updated my NIC driver each month, as best I can, from the Realtek website. It appears that I still do NOT have a MS compatible NIC driver. I give up! I've been so burned in the past using MS "suggested" drivers from the "Custom" Update view. I usually just blow it off. But, this Update bitch is now 8 months old! Does MS just not care for Realtek? I can solve this by just plugging in Intel GBit NIC cards. I just do not want too ATM,....(unless I have to, just to make MS happy again.) Is there a battle between MS and Realtek? Confused I am..... Best, Duncan
