Realtek RTL8125BG, 2.5GB LAN?


Does it work fine with kernel 6.0+?

I see they have 2.5G Ethernet LINUX driver r8125 for kernel up to 5.19.

Or should I go with 2.5GB Intel LAN?

Hi

As for the kernel version the minimum is 5.9. If you are using a 6.0 should work.

r8125 is in-tree for 6.1+. Here's a direct connect pair based on RTL8256BG chipset, one end running USB-C/r8125, the other USB-3/cdc_ncm:

Code:
$ host=zen2; port=23234
$ ssh $host "nc -l -p $port > /dev/null & disown" &
[1] 834
$ /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=4200 | nc -q 1 $host $port

What is the hardware you are searching a driver for Ethernet or wireless? I though you figured this out since the last post was in May.
I found this and it may help. Look under Unix/Linux section header
