Thanks for the device ID. It looks like this device is natively supported by the kernel r8169 driver in RHEL8: [phil@Build64R8 ~]$ grep -i 10ec /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 8125 /lib/modules/4.18.0-305.19.1.el8_4.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008125sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 /lib/modules/4.18.0-305.25.1.el8_4.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008125sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 /lib/modules/4.18.0-305.el8.x86_64/modules.alias:alias pci:v000010ECd00008125sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 Have you tried this driver? If it works, I'd use that as it will receive constant updates through RHEL, but we can certainly look to build kmod-r8125 if it doesn't work for you. |

Thanks. I wasn't sure - I noticed the firmware was included but I couldn't find an r8125 module and the system with the card in it is currently running el7. I didn't want to upgrade it without having a driver. I'll try it and let you know. |

Great. See how you get on with the kernel r8169 driver, and if it's not working well for you then come back here and we can certainly look at building r8125 for el8 for you to try. It's good to have options! |
