Configure the network settings. This might involve editing configuration files under /etc/network/interfaces (for Debian/Ubuntu) or using NetworkManager.

Create install.bat (run as admin):

@echo off
pnputil /add-driver netrt640x64.inf /install
ipconfig /renew
echo JX+518L driver installed.
pause

This uses Windows’ built-in pnputil – no third-party tools needed.

The “JX+518L” is almost always a Realtek RTL8111/8168 family chip.
Confirm this via:

Device Manager → Network adapters → Properties → Details → Hardware Ids
Look for PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8168 or DEV_8169.

Once confirmed, you’re safe using Realtek’s official driver as the base.

If you are attempting to utilize a repacked driver or create one, the technical process generally involves:

Extraction: Using a tool like 7-Zip or Universal Extractor to unpack the proprietary installer executable (usually an .exe file) to access the raw driver folders.
Identification: Locating the correct driver files (e.g., rt64win7.sys, netrtwlane.inf) that correspond to the device's Hardware ID.
Modification (Advanced): Editing the .inf file to add the specific "JX+518L" hardware ID if the standard installer ignores the device.
Installation:
- Open Device Manager.
- Right-click the Ethernet Controller (often listed under "Other Devices" with a yellow triangle if the driver is missing).
- Select Update Driver > Browse my computer for drivers.
- Point the wizard to the folder containing the repacked/extracted files.

For most Linux distributions, you'll need to install the kernel development package and possibly the compiler (gcc).
```
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) gcc
```
(Example for Debian/Ubuntu systems)
