realtek-r8125-dkms VS r8125

You can buy any nic on the same chipset it's a Realtek 8152. And it's very important, in proxmox with default kernel you need this https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms , without this package Linux uses wrong drivers and it's causing disconnecting on heavy-load and high latency. With this dkms modules it works flawlessly, god bless its author!

Did you try this one? https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms

What exactly did you do that needed two thumb drives and android phone? Quick google search revealed this https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms it has three different ways to installs all involving 2 or less than two commands that you need to copy paste. I’m not trying to bash you or anything I’m genuinely interested how thumb drives and android phone got involved in this.

Still, I'd like to get the realtek LAN working. I had the same problem for a recent linux build and was able to install a deb and get it working. Trying to follow the same instructions in Proxmox doesn't work. I get a dependency error that aren't resolved by install --fix-broken and I can't add a repository.

Now you just need the dkms driver someone nicely maintains on github (use curl or wget to grab it): https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms/releases/tag/9.003.05-1

Currently you can install a driver from here: https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r8125-dkms

https://github.com/awesometic/realtek-r ... _amd64.deb

Or install the driver manually from a mirror or the Realtek site: https://github.com/heri16/r8125 I linked a mirror since it has a readme but if you prefer the Realtek site version then you’ll have to extract it and view the readme file.

I downloaded the tarball from https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software on my pc first then transferred it to proxmox by ssh but you might have save it on a flash then transfer it. Once you do that just follow the quick install steps https://github.com/heri16/r8125 Also, I think I had the r8129 drivers installed from the debian repository so I had to blacklist that one to make sure it would use the correct one.

I have the r8125 card on my Asrock z490m and I just downloaded the driver from https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software and installed it following https://github.com/heri16/r8125
