Realtek has vendor driver for RTL8125 chips. Vendor driver is more advanced than kernel in-tree driver and probably more stable. Gentoo already has ebuild for older NICs: net-misc/r8168 Arch GNU/Linux has package for this r8125 dirver: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8125-dkms. Please, add the new ebuild for r8125. RSS features are very useful for higher network speeds. Reproducible: Always
Older Gentoo bug for the same driver: https://bugs.gentoo.org/736400 Closed as WONTFIX.
I'm ready to be a proxied maintainer for this ebuild.
