[Testers-Needed] Converting Any Realtek Ethernet to Intel Killer Ethernet chip

[THEBOSS619]

Any luck getting the RTL8156 usb chipset to accept the Killer drivers?

I have the "Realtek Gaming USB 2.5GbE Family Controller" variant with the following HWIDs:
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8156&REV_3104
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8156

Will try to do it and look into it as soon as I get free time for it will get back to you with new driver if needed

No rush, thank you.

Realtek driver I'm using is 10.73 (standard w/ power saving). Oddly, they keep changing the date stamp on the driver and its file size has grown but the version # has stayed the same. ( there were older ones, 10.71 and 10.72, which seemed a little off, like they are still developing the driver or patching for security? )

Definitely no rush...it'll be interesting to see if the Killer drivers make this chip perform any better.
