Hi there,

I'm running a Proxmox homelab cluster on 2 Odroid-H2+ SBC + 1 HP Microserver Gen8.
The current kernel module (r8169) from the source tree does not support HW revision B of chipset 8125.
Realtek kernel module (r8125) for this chip is broken and perform awfully when 2 8125B talk to each other through a 1 GbE switch.

I backported 8125B support from kernel 5.9 to the PVE kernel.

Please read the full story here : https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=40598

Hope it will help !
