In general, the auto_nicdrv helps to complete the work in the configuration phase of the NICDRV package. The README in "How to build and use" is used to introduce how to use NICDRV package, as you said, some manual work may be done by auto_nicdrv in Quick Start. One thing should be noted is the latest version of auto_nicdrv will be released a little later than NICDRV package.
Thanks, Robin
