Arch Linux User Repository

Just another person here with no programming experience saying help. The r8125-dkms works fine with Kernel 5.16 but 5.17 totally hoses it. I try this and I also tried downloading the code from Realtek and that didn't work either with 5.17. When you get a chance could you look into this? Maybe we just need to wait for Realtek to update their code for 5.17. Thank You so much for working to provide this for us. I'll unblacklist r8169 for now.

I could fix the not working network for me by removing this package and re-enabling the r8169 module. Then the system used the build module directly from the kernel.

So thanks for your efforts in the past to build this package, but I think I no longer need it.

Hi, I am also getting build errors. This comes out of the "var/lib/dkms/r8125/9.008.00/build/make.log"

I'm getting build errors on kernel 5.17.1

@fierce_brake My link is currently full duplex 2,5 GBit/s. I would assume your cable is damaged 100 MBit/s requires 4 wires and >1000 GBit/s requires 8 wires in your Ethernet cable.

Greetings everyone!

anyone unable to go 1000 full duplex ?

in my case the NIC will only connect at 100 full duplex. If i try to force it to 1000 full duplex it will simply fail to connect to the router.

@ptb Thanks! I've deleted my comment. I don't even know how I ended up posting it here.

@johntdavis I don't think you intended to write the comment to this package, sounds more like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/r8152-dkms/ .

I found one more potential bug fiddling with another dkms package (similar comment here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/it87-dkms-git). I also updated it to use my own github fork with an explicit release rather than relying on the master branch of ibmibmibm's repo.

According to https://linux.die.net/man/8/dkms

DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[#]=

This directive specifies the destination where a module should be installed to, once compiled. It also is used for finding original_modules. This is a required directive, except as noted below. This directive must start with the text "/kernel" which is in reference to /lib/modules/<kernelversion>/kernel.
...

This git diff will address that:

EDIT: fix a bad reference to master
