No doubts to be had on this matter; Ravven's signature shows "AR8151", which is in line with the product ids found in the Info.plist of his posted kext:

<string>0x10831969 0x10631969 0x10621969 0x20601969 0x20621969 0x10731969</string>

0x10831969 -> Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller

0x10631969 -> Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller

0x10621969 -> Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller

0x20601969 -> Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller

0x20621969 -> Qualcomm Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet controller

0x10731969 -> Atheros AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet controller

 

In addition, Asus web site provides an Atheros AR8151 driver in the support section of the X73SV laptop model. I will modify the original guide to that effect in order to avoid further confusion in the future.

 

As a final conclusion, this Atheros kext is clearly not applicable to a Realtek chip, which should not have been a surprise from the onset since we're talking about a different manufacturer altogether. There remains no known OS X driver for the Realtek RTL8151.
