Steps taken:
Uninstalled all realtek drivers using the R2.73 installer (yes, there are probably other ways that work as well, just stating what worked for me)
Rebooted my system
Aborted R2.73 Installer from continuing
Installed latest Realtek Driver
Rebooted system again
Complete
Hopefully this helps you guys as well, so far it seems to be working on my laptop.
