Can this update be pushed for EL8_7 too?

The current source code builds fine on EL8.6 but not on EL8.7. I will try to patch it.

Thank you! Confirmed working with my Realtek RTL8111B on ASUS P5B mainboard.

Only thing worth mentioning is this possible warning in dmesg. I did run "lspci -vv", so it likely triggered it.

Thank you for the feedback. Glad to hear the updated driver is working.

As you noted, that message is most likely harmless.
