@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?

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.

With modifications I got bundi78's patch working. The area that caused me some grief was:

+diff -Naur r8125-9.011.00-a/src/r8125.h r8125-9.011.00-b/src/r8125.h

Are the -a and -b suffixes meant to be included? Removing them (and then skipping the sha256 check) meant I could build and install this. Thanks for doing posting it!

Hi, the following patch is working:

It does works for linux-lts 5.15.87

the r8125 actually works fine without this specific driver. In my case package r8168 was blacklisting r8169 which supports the r8125.

Last version: 9.009.02

I git/clone source repo, then update PKGBUILD:

Then...

makepkg --syncdeps -f && makepkg --install

See you on next reboot :)

Thank you for providing the patch!

I hope that ptb gets around to fixing this package. In the meantime I created an aur package simply called r8125 wich is basically the same as the r8168 package in community just for the r8125 device.
