The first time you run the installer, if removers the Realtek driver, and
restarts your computer. In the meantime Windows will try to install it's
generic driver; just let Windows do it's thing (it may fail or "succeed", it
doesn't really matter. Should it "succeed", the generic driver won't
work). You then have to run the Realtek installer one more time, and reboot
one more time. Then the new driver will be installed.
