I got a new USB ethernet adapter from ebay, the ad said RealTek chipset,
so I thought I would chance it.
Well, my 5.2 system does not recognize the USB device. At all. What do
I need to do?
I checked the driver CD and the XP driver directory's .inf file has the
following:

AddReg = AX88172.Reg, AX88172.Con.Reg ;, AX88172.Params

How can I tell if this is a RealTek chipset and more importantly,
getting it working?
