Realtek Ethernet Drivers WTH?

Cartel · Apr 23, 2015

I notice Realtek released the same driver 3 months in a row...

7092_02252015
7092_03232015
7092_04092015

7.092 Feb, March, April.

What are they doing?

All 3 are DriverVer = 01/15/2015 7.092.0115.2015 same dll's and sys files.

This. They probably just added additional support for more audio devices but the driver itself probably didn't change.

No its a NIC driver only.

vimdiff the two INF files and I bet you that the newer version has more hardware IDs for added support for similar codecs or off-brand codecs that Realtek sold rights to. Once again, the driver didn't change, they just added support for more hardware, not different hardware. If you upload both INFs, I can diff them and find out.
