I forget.  The explanation is below, and I just can't be bothered to
reorganize this message.

Yes, we saw that.  That's the Realtek chip.

This is not a Realtek chip.  As it says, it's an nVidia chip.  Also,
this is only part of the output.  You've missed out the important
part.  The output should be something like this:

none7 at pci0:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x570c1462 chip=0x006610de rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Nvidia Corporation'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

The numbers are the key to whether the chip is supported or not.  I'd
guess not.

I really can't be bothered continuing with this thread.  You're making
it very difficult for me.  Maybe somebody else with more patience will
reply to your further messages.
