My fully working Yosemite hackintosh died due to a HDD failure (hint: never by a Seagate hybrid drive!). I'm trying to get it working again with Sierra. Here is my hardware configuration:

MB: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V, BIOS version F13
CPU: i7 3770
RAM: 16GB
Boot HDD: 1TB WD Black
Video: EVGA GeForce GTX-1050Ti, 4GB GDDR5

My immediate problem is networking. Which Realtek version is correct for this setup?

Many thanks for your help, Pilgrim, but no kext I can locate will enable networking on my machine. I decided to give up my effort to run High Sierra on this older architecture, and install an older version. Consequently I removed that Pascal video card and substituted an old GT640 I last used under Mavericks. I downloaded El Capitan, Multibeast 8.2.3, and Unibeast 6.0.1

When I began this install I was quite surprised. Immediately after loading the basic files my system began talking, offering to help me set up OS X just as if it were a factory Mac, Everything... I mean everything, worked without a single driver or SMBIOS hack being installed by Multibeast. Video, audio, LAN, FaceTime, sleep, wake, external DVD/RW. The only thing I did was install the standard Clover bootloader from M-Beast 8.2.3. And that is my systems only failing — I can only boot using Clover on my Unibeast flash drive. Clover installed to the HDD never boots.
 
I'm using this AtherosL1cEthernet.kext , for GA-b75-d3v(rev. 1.0) it works.
Qualcomm Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet
