r8125 is the out-of-tree Linux kernel driver for Realtek RTL8125 and
RTL8125B 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.
It provides complete 2.5Gbps support not available in the in-tree r8169
driver for this hardware revision.
The resulting package is specific to the kernel it was built against.
You must rebuild this package whenever you upgrade your kernel.
BUILDING
--------
To build for the currently running kernel:
./r8125.SlackBuild
To build for a different kernel (e.g. one you have just installed but
not yet booted):
KERNEL=6.1.0 ./r8125.SlackBuild
The KERNEL variable must match the directory name under /lib/modules/
and the kernel build tree must exist at /lib/modules/$KERNEL/build.
CONFLICT WITH r8169
-------------------
The in-tree r8169 driver may also bind to RTL8125 hardware. This package
installs a blacklist file to prevent r8169 from loading:
/etc/modprobe.d/r8169_blacklist.conf
If the file already exists and has been modified, the new version will
be installed as r8169_blacklist.conf.new for you to review and merge.
NVCHECKER
---------
An nvchecker configuration file is installed alongside this README at:
/usr/doc/r8125-VERSION/r8125.nvchecker
nvchecker (https://github.com/lilydjwg/nvchecker) is a tool for checking
new versions of software. Copy or include this file in your nvchecker
configuration to be notified when Realtek publishes a new r8125 release.
