Use 'lspci -nn' in Linux Terminal to get the actual device-id.
BitDefender Rescue CD is based on an old Gentoo, lspci was not recognised in Terminal. Temporarly, erased Sierra and installed Windows 10. Where shall I look? Device Manager? It says Realtek PCI GBE Family Controller,
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8167&SUBSYS_E0001458

Use a Latest Version of Ubuntu.

10ec:8167 is not supported by RealtekRTL8111.kext.
You might use google.
(probably not supported at all...)
 
What Multibeast? Sierra? Yosemite? Where in Multibeast?

Read post #23. Your better to purchase a PCI-E Ethernet Card that is supported with RealtekRTL8111.kext.
 
Your answer is in post #23.
Did you forget to read it?
I did, I am trying to understand. So, it is a rare internet controller, used only briefly in few motherboards, this is why it is not supported in standard kexts. I need a kext that supports 8167, not 8168 or any other. Chances to find it are low, Google is the only chance. Have I got it right?

Correct.
You should probably just purchase compatible hardware instead.
