It is rather off topic here but I think there is a lot of relevant  
knowledge in this community so I decided to ask:

Last night I had a lightning strike nearby and - of course - a lot of  
damage around :-( Most of the power supplies were surge protected so  
things didn't break from this side but... among other things one port  
of my pretty expensive, industrial 6 NIC router got damaged through  
the ethernet cable... I located the Realtek single chip network  
controllers inside and I would like to replace the damaged one (I  
should still be able to do the SMT [de]soldering from my Commodore  
service times) but I can't find the chips in my regular sources. The  
thing is too expensive to simply throw away and replace so I would  
like to take the risk of repairing it. Could anyone help?

Regards,
