No, he isn't. He is saying that Windows Update is not offering you the
upgrade but you can download the standalone installer anyway. You most
likely will need to reinstall the RealTek driver because reinstallation is
the driver problem. The drivers work but have a defect that prevents SP1
from automatically reinstalling the drivers after SP1 is installed. If you
know how to reinstall drivers then you can proceed to SP1. However, SP1
goes onto Automatic Updates in a few days anyway so you might as well just
wait.
