Linux kernel since v6.3 includes a fix for always loading the mainline r8152 driver that performs much better than the default cdc_ncm driver. For my UGREE 2.5G ethernet dongle the mainline driver seems to now work fine and I no longer need to use this vendor dkms package.

How can I ensure that this driver is also loaded? And not the kernel driver?

Thanks!

In the meantime I have figured out with "modinfo r8152" that there is a driver in the kernel and it has the "firmware: rtl_nic/rtl8156b-2.fw".

Am I right that this means that I don't need the DKMS driver and that it is only available for custom kernels that doesn't include the official diver?

According to the realtek website[0], yes:

  • RTL8156 / RTL8156B(S)(G)
  • RTL8153 / RTL8153B
  • RTL8154 / RTL8154B
  • RTL8152B

Q: Does it work for the RTL8156B Revision?

hcartiaux commented on 2022-09-14 13:32 (UTC)

Updated, works on my machine (c)

@bjin, this is not upstream, this is our repository to keep track of the sources for this package, because the sources are not available directly from realtek (it is accessible behind a public portal).

same error for 5.19
