Comment 28 for bug 508746

@mcguire:

That's a separate issue we can deal with more easily in a separate bug. That said, we also would not be able to support a third party driver in Ubuntu releases anyways. Our drivers come from the upstream maintained linux kernel, and pulling a driver from a third part is generally out of the scope of our ability.

This doesn't mean you can't use the driver from Realtek, you will just need to download, build, and install it yourself.

Thanks
