I've copied the source code into my own github so it can be distributed using github release source tarballs. You should be able to build directly again without having to do a manual download through the realtek presigned url.

follow the steps manually:

0. install pre-requirements like dkms, linux-headers...

1. git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/r8125-dkms.git

2. cd r8125-dkms download the source code here (https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-pci-express-software) and put it under this dir.

3. edit PKGBUILD change the line from: source=("http://rtitwww.realtek.com/rtdrivers/cn/nic1/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2" to source=("${_pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2"

4. makepkg -si

5. exec by root: echo "blacklist r8169" >> /etc/modprobe.d/dkms.conf

6. reboot

7. check by: ethtool -i YOUR_DEV

@barand3 , The official website of REALTEK has enabled pre download verification, and you can go here to download the source code and place it in the root directory of the package.

The installation cannot be carried out because the download url is invalid.

@aravance.

I need this driver for radxa rock5b SBC. It is using an older vendor kenel based on linux 5.10. For linux < 5.12 the module needs below patch. Could you please apply?

Throughput monitoring issue

Ran into the same problem.

To match the original functionality from <6.1, the patch should probably change the function from netif_napi_add to netif_napi_add_weight rather than remove the weight parameter. The api was changed in 6.1 to generalize the netif_napi_add function (by removing the weight parameter) and the netif_napi_add_weight function was added in its place for calls where a weight is required/desired.
