If you are using an automated imaging process such as SCCM 2012 or MDT 2013, the Realtek 8153 needs the following driver combinations to prevent the CD-ROM functionality from activating. This is how the adapter is enumerated in Device Manager after the driver installation ( Figure 4): You may also run the Realtek USB Ethernet Family Controller Software and then hot plug the USB adapter ( Figure 3).


Unplug the device and plug it back in to switch it over to "Ethernet" mode. Do not attempt to manually update the driver as it fails.
