How to install r8125?

[freddyf]

I am reaching out regarding an issue I encountered while setting up Proxmox VE 8.4.0 on my machine. The r8125 NIC not being listed after installation.

I downloaded the necessary driver from Realtek (r8125-9.016.00.tar.bz2), but unfortunately, I have been unable to successfully install it thus far. I'm looking for guidance or assistance with this. Any help or advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Best regards,

Mine is using the 8169 module.

Seems to be working fine. Don't remember having to add anything. It is passed threw to an openwrt vm that sees it as an 8125.
I can provide other info if requested.
