A vendor ID of 1 is very very very broken. Do all boards have this or do
you have a faulty box (perhaps a misprogrammed EEPROM somewhere)

That will match any device 0x8168 not just a realtek one. I'd use 0x0001,
0x8168 for the match. However I'd seriously consider checking another
board as I suspect you simply have a return candidate.


I have had this board for a few months as well and I have needed to patch the driver to use 0x0001 as well.
