I have not yet had an opportunity to check on this. My recollection is that the 
error message from the firmware did not affect the operation of the chip, but I 
have not yet proved that.

I cannot vouch for the operation of any drivers downloaded from the Realtek web 
site. Many of them will not work with 64-bit systems.
