[Fix] Two upstream commit necessary: * commit 3890db36665d ("rtl_nic: add firmware for RTL8125B") * commit 69c7f0bdc76e ("rtl_nic: update firmware for RTL8125B") [Test Case] Without firmware, drive probe would fail with: $ dmesg | grep -i r8169 r8169 0000:06:00.0: unknown chip XID 641 With firmware, it should then succeed: $ dmesg | grep -i r8169 r8169 0000:07:00.0 eth0: RTL8125B, b4:2e:99:ef:c6:82, XID 641, IRQ 66 r8169 0000:07:00.0 eth0: jumbo features [frames: 9194 bytes, tx checksumming: ko] r8169 0000:07:00.0 eno1: renamed from eth0 RTL8125B 2.5Gbps internal r8169-700:00: attached PHY driver [RTL8125B 2.5Gbps internal] (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-700:00, irq=IGNORE) [Where problems could occur] While this introduces new firmware blobs and enabled devices supported by new kernels, it should have little effect on existing systems, but with new devices up and running, it may still affect power consumptions, ability to enter deep suspend, etc. [Other Info] RTL8125B is supported by Linux kernel since v5.9 and on, so only Focal is nominated specifically for linux-oem-5.10 kernel. ========== original bug description ========== https://askubuntu.com/questions/1259947/cant-get-rtl8125b-working- on-20-04 $ lspci -knn | grep Eth -A3 06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
