Default "Inventec-LAN,other hardware-Inventec PCIe GBE Family Controller." - What is it about?

I got a message of an optional update for "Inventec-LAN,other
hardware-Inventec PCIe GBE Family Controller." I run Window 8.1 Pro
64-bit. AFAIK, I do not have any Inventec equipment. A Google search
led to a page at Microsoft Community
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/i...intp-insider_d
evices/just-got-an-update-for-inventec-lan-driver-for-win/516f4f25-931c-
4f1d-aa87-74ce7220ab4b?page=1 with numerous replies, all of which seems
to boil down to no one really knows. Some advocate blind trust of
Microsoft, one or two note that there may be some relationship between
RealTek and Inventec but are not sure.

Has anyone seen any current info about it? FWIW, I'll be relegating it
to a do not install status, but it's troubling for an update to be
pushed down when even Microsoft's "More Information" and "Support
Information" links either report "The More information feature is not
available yet" or lead to a search page that's useless because I don't
even know what the product is that the update is supposed to be for!
