Is your realtek NIC a PCI or an ISA card?

If it's a PCI card, does it appear in the output of "prtconf -pv"?

Look for PCI devices with a "class-code" of "00020000". The
"vendor-id" and "device-id" listed in this entry can be used to
identify the chipset used on your Realtek NIC, using the PCI database
on <URL:http://www.pcidatabase.com/>. Knowing the chipset might allow
us to find the correct driver needed for your Realtek NIC.
