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! |

Hello, it would have the same native driver but from the information that the following command gives me it only traffics at 1Giga. Doing traffic tests does not result in traffic with that driver at 2.5 G and is consistent with traffic at 1G. Would it be possible to have the r8125 alternative to try with that? lshw -class network *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0 logical name: lan0 version: 04 serial: 48:22:54:e7:37:c4 capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8169 driverversion=4.18.0-553.8.1.el8_10.x86_64 duplex=full firmware=rtl8125b-2_0.0.2 07/13/20 ip=192.168.101.1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII resources: irq:16 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:84a00000-84a0ffff memory:84a10000-84a13fff grep -i 10ec /lib/modules/*/modules.alias | grep -i 8125 alias pci:v000010ECd00008125sv*sd*bc*sc*i* r8169 |

The following r8125 packages are syncing to our mirrors. Please provide feedback. kmod-r8125-9.013.02-1.el8_10.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kmod-r8125-9.013.02-1.el8_10.elrepo.src.rpm In case you need it in the future, we also added the r8126 driver. kmod-r8126-10.013.00-1.el8_10.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kmod-r8126-10.013.00-1.el8_10.elrepo.src.rpm |

Perfect, I'll try it and let you know anything. Thank you so much |

Any update? |

I pass some tests. Detect that traffic improved but did not achieve traffic that was at 2.5 GB What catches my attention is what lshw shows in capacity. Try new cables and another switch port. lshw -class network *-network description: Ethernet interface product: RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:06:00.0 ethtool -I lan0 Settings for lan0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseX/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseX/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseX/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 2500Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal MDI-X: on Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) drv probe ifdown ifup Link detected: yes logical name: lan0 version: 04 serial: 48:22:54:e7:37:c4 capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=r8125 driverversion=9.013.02-NAPI-PTP duplex=full ip=192.168.101.1 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair resources: irq:16 ioport:3000(size=256) memory:84a00000-84a0ffff memory:84a10000-84a13fff You can test other equipment with another type of board on the same switch and it shows its capacity well.

Can you check your BIOS/UEFI and see if the PCI-e slot is being limited? For example, is it set to a compatibility Gen 1.0 speed?

According to realtek it is due to the I226-V standard I pass the capruta they sent me. RTL8125_image002.jpg (35,523 bytes) |

His response was: BTW, it seems the capacity information is the same as other vendor’s 2.5G NIC as well. |
|
|
Ok, so it appears to just be a cosmetic issue with the driver and/or lshw. In terms of performance, is the Realtek driver working at/near 2.5Gbps? |
|

Closing due to inactivity. Marked as fixed since the manufacturer driver is working. |
