DSM driver for realtek RTL8152/RTL8153/RTL8156 based USB Ethernet adapters

This is a RTL8152/RTL8153/RTL8156 driver package for Synology NASes.

You can download drivers including other platforms from the Release page and determine a proper driver for your model from this page, but you might encounter some issues with unconfirmed platforms.

I very much appreciate if you report whether it works.

NOTE: I recommend using front ports to connect devices because some users reported stability issues when they use rear ports.
