I bought an ASUS TUF Gaming Motherboard (X870-PLUS WIFI) in January and I am trying to setup Rocky Linux on it.
Sadly, I have an issue with the Network Adapter on the Motherboard. It seems it is not supported by default. So I am trying to get the driver software and build it.
Today, I even tried installing Linux Mint and Ubuntu and they have the same support issue with it.
The OS detect the network adapter and tries to run the driver.
dmesg contains:
[ 0.853518] r8169 0000:06:00.0: error -ENODEV: unknown chip XID 688, contact r8169 maintainers (see MAINTAINERS file)
lspci -nnk | grep -A3 -i “8125”
06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller [10ec:8125] (rev 0c)
DeviceName: Realtek RTL8125D LAN
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:88e1]
Kernel modules: r8169
RealTek RTL8125 rev0c seems to be somehow problematic according to what I find on the net so far.
This is a fresh installation of Rocky Linux, and I also updated all to latest as of today
uname -r
5.14.0-503.26.1.el9_5.x86_64
I downloaded the package r8125-9.014.01.tar from the RealTek web site
autorun.sh returns the following:
sudo ./autorun.sh
Check old driver and unload it.
rmmod r8169
Build the module and install
