 Realtek has developed multiple generations of networking SoCs. An SDK is provided by Realtek for managed switches built on these platforms, but of course we can do better by developing actual mainline Linux support. This wiki gathers documentation on the SoCs, the switches they are implemented in, and the drivers written to support these devices. Realtek has developed multiple generations of networking SoCs.
