Derivation of $ R_{N(t)}(\tau) $ from its $f_{N(t)}(\eta)$
As @MattL points out in a comment, a Gaussian pdf does not imply whiteness. Indeed, it can be argued that the assumption that the process is a continuous-time white noise process is contrary to the belief that the random variables constituting the process even have a pdf of any kind.  Continuous-time white noise is a mythical beast that is used to account for the empirical observation that the power spectral density $S_{\scriptstyle{\text{output}}}(f)$ of the noise at the output of a linear filter with transfer function $H(f)$ can be expressed as
$$S_{\scriptstyle{\text{output}}}(f) = \frac{N_0}{2}|H(f)|^2,-\infty &lt; f &lt; \infty,$$
a result that is perfectly consistent with the standard theory of wide-sense-stationary processes in linear systems which claims that 
$$S_{\scriptstyle{\text{output}}(f)} = S_{\scriptstyle{\text{input}}(f)}|H(f)|^2, -\infty &lt; f &lt; \infty,$$
provided that we are willing to suspend belief and assume that the input noise has power spectral density $\frac{N_0}{2}, -\infty &lt; f &lt; \infty,$ which has infinite power. (This suspension of belief must be accompanied by a most solemn vow to not attempt to solve the world's energy crisis by plugging in the power grid into a white noise generator!). Formally, a continuous-time white noise process is defined to be a continuous-time zero-mean wide-sense stationary process whose power spectral density has constant value for all choices of frequency $f$. Continuous-time white noise can only be observed through some kind of device (whether linear or nonlinear) which perforce performs some kind of filtering or bandwidth reduction so that the observation has finite variance and the observed process has finite power. The observed process is not called a white noise process.

The inverse Fourier transform of $\frac{N_0}{2}, -\infty &lt; f &lt; \infty,$ is the autocorrelation function $\frac{N_0}{2}\delta(t)$ of the white noise process where $\delta(t)$ is the Dirac delta. It is a shibboleth often murmured on this site that the value $\delta(0)$ of the Dirac delta is $\infty$ with the usual consequences for this mispronunciation being administered by the cognoscenti of dsp.SE, but the point is that we cannot define any kind of pdf for the random variables constituting a white noise process, and very certainly not the Gaussian pdf that the OP wishes to use.  What is true that the noise at the output of the linear filter is Gaussian noise meaning that the random variables constituting the output noise process are (zero-mean) Gaussian random variables with variance 
$$\sigma^2 = \int_{-\infty}^\infty S_{\scriptstyle{\text{output}}(f)}\, \mathrm df = \frac{N_0}{2}\int_{-\infty}^\infty |H(f)|^2\mathrm df.$$
This result is also consistent with the view that the input noise process is white Gaussian noise in the sense that it is a standard result in the theory of wide-sense-stationary process that linear filtering of a Gaussian process results in a Gaussian process. But it is not possible to ascribe a variance  (not even an infinite variance) to these alleged Gaussian random variables in the input process because for all $x$,
$$\lim_{\sigma\to\infty} \frac{\exp\left(-\frac{x^2}{2\sigma^2}\right)}{{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}} = 0.$$


  In summary, continuous-time white Gaussian noise is a myth used to provide a rationale for the empirical observation that the noise at the output of a linear filter with transfer function $H(f)$ is a zero-mean wide-sense-stationary (and hence strictly stationary) Gaussian random process with power spectral density
  $$S_{\scriptstyle{\text{output}}}(f) = \frac{N_0}{2}|H(f)|^2,-\infty &lt; f &lt; \infty.$$
  The only assumption about the random variables constituting the wide-sense-stationary input white noise process is that they all are zero-mean random Gaussian random variables but we cannot ascribe any variance to them or observe them directly or do anything else with them until we have processed them through some device of finite bandwidth.

In view of a veritable flood of comments from @markleeds on the original version of this answer, it is worth noting that on dsp.SE (and any place else where MATLAB is the lingua franca), there is also the concept of a discrete-time white noise process.  A discrete-time process is a countable collection of random variables $\{X[k]\colon k \in \mathbb Z\}$ (notice the change from $X(t)$ to $X[k]$: this is very commonly-used notational convention to distinguish the two cases) and a discrete-time white noise process is just a collection of zero-mean finite-variance independent identically distributed random variables $N[k]$, $k \in \mathbb Z$. The (discrete-time) autocorrelation function of the process is $$R_N[k] = E[N[m]N[m+k]] = \sigma^2\delta[k]$$ where $\delta[k]$ is the Kronecker delta (not the Dirac delta) which is defined as
$$\delta[k] = \begin{cases}1, &amp; k=0,\\0, &amp; k\neq 0.\end{cases}$$
Although the same symbol is used in both cases, we use $()$ and $[]$ as clues to tell us what $\delta$ means. Now, what, if any, is the relationship between samples of continuous-time white noise and discrete-time white noise? Well, as mentioned above, sampling white noise is not a physical reality -- one cannot draw blood from a beast that does not exist! -- and any attempt to do so must take into account the physical properties of the sampler which is a finite-bandwidth device with a switch that closes for a very short period of time $\varepsilon$ and then opens again. A simple model for what happens during this time is that what the sampler reads at time $t$ is the value of
$$\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}N(\tau)\, \mathrm d\tau$$ which 
is a random variable  with mean $0$ and variance 
\begin{align}
\sigma^2 &amp;= E\left[\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}N(\tau)\, \mathrm d\tau\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}N(\lambda)\, \mathrm d\lambda\right]\\
&amp;= E\left[\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}N(\tau)N(\lambda)\, \mathrm d\tau \,\mathrm d\lambda\right]\\
&amp;= \int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}E[N(\tau)N(\lambda)]\, \mathrm d\tau \,\mathrm d\lambda\\
&amp;= \int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}\int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}\frac{N_0}{2}\delta(\tau-\lambda)]\, \mathrm d\tau \,\mathrm d\lambda\\
&amp;= \int_{t-\varepsilon}^{t}\frac{N_0}{2}\,\mathrm d\lambda\\
&amp;= \frac{N_0}{2}\varepsilon
\end{align}
If $N(t)$ is continuous-time white Gaussian noise with power spectral density $\frac{N_0}{2}$ and the samples are spaced at least $\varepsilon$ apart, say the $k$-th sample is at time $kT$ where $T\geq \varepsilon$, then we have that the $N[k]$ are independent zero-mean random variables with variance $\frac{N_0}{2}\varepsilon$, that is, _discrete-time white noise.  If $N(t)$ is a Gaussian process, then the discrete-time process is a Gaussian process in which the random variables are independent $\mathcal N(0,\frac{N_0}{2}\varepsilon$ random variables.
