Which includes the backported fix from our 693166c ("r8125: backport
fix for 6.8 and bump package version to 9.011.00-4.1") already, so no
need to port that over.

<Linux device driver for Realtek Ethernet controllers>
|
|
|
|
This is the Linux device driver released for Realtek 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.
|
|
|
|
<Requirements>
|
|
|
|
- Kernel source tree (supported Linux kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x)
|
|
- For linux kernel 2.4.x, this driver supports 2.4.20 and latter.
|
|
- Compiler/binutils for kernel compilation
|
|
|
|
<Quick install with proper kernel settings>
|
|
Unpack the tarball :
|
|
# tar vjxf r8125-9.aaa.bb.tar.bz2
|
|
|
|
Change to the directory:
|
|
# cd r8125-9.aaa.bb
|
|
|
|
If you are running the target kernel, then you should be able to do :
|
|
|
|
# ./autorun.sh (as root or with sudo)
|
|
|
|
You can check whether the driver is loaded by using following commands.
|
|
|
|
# lsmod | grep r8125
|
|
# ifconfig -a
|
|
|
|
If there is a device name, ethX, shown on the monitor, the linux
|
|
driver is loaded. Then, you can use the following command to activate
|
|
the ethX.
|
|
|
|
# ifconfig ethX up
|
|
|
|
,where X=0,1,2,...
|
|
|
|
<Set the network related information>
|
|
1. Set manually
|
|
a. Set the IP address of your machine.
|
|
|
|
# ifconfig ethX "the IP address of your machine"
|
|
|
|
b. Set the IP address of DNS.
|
|
|
|
Insert the following configuration in /etc/resolv.conf.
|
|
|
|
nameserver "the IP address of DNS"
|
|
|
|
c. Set the IP address of gateway.
|
|
|
|
# route add default gw "the IP address of gateway"
|
|
|
|
2. Set by doing configurations in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
|
|
/ifcfg-ethX for Redhat and Fedora, or /etc/sysconfig/network
|
|
/ifcfg-ethX for SuSE. There are two examples to set network
|
|
configurations.
|
|
|
|
a. Fixed IP address:
|
|
DEVICE=eth0
|
|
BOOTPROTO=static
|
|
ONBOOT=yes
|
|
TYPE=ethernet
|
|
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
|
|
IPADDR=192.168.1.1
|
|
GATEWAY=192.168.1.254
|
|
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
|
|
|
|
b. DHCP:
|
|
DEVICE=eth0
|
|
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
|
|
ONBOOT=yes
|
|
|
|
<Modify the MAC address>
|
|
There are two ways to modify the MAC address of the NIC.
|
|
1. Use ifconfig:
|
|
|
|
# ifconfig ethX hw ether YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
|
|
|
|
,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
|
|
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
|
|
|
|
2. Use ip:
|
|
|
|
# ip link set ethX address YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY
|
|
|
|
,where X is the device number assigned by Linux kernel, and
|
|
YY:YY:YY:YY:YY:YY is the MAC address assigned by the user.
|
|
|
|
<Force Link Status>
|
|
|
|
1. Force the link status when insert the driver.
|
|
|
|
If the user is in the path ~/r8125, the link status can be forced
|
|
to one of the 5 modes as following command.
|
|
|
|
# insmod ./src/r8125.ko speed=SPEED_MODE duplex=DUPLEX_MODE autoneg=NWAY_OPTION
|
|
|
|
,where
|
|
SPEED_MODE = 1000 for 1000Mbps
|
|
= 100 for 100Mbps
|
|
= 10 for 10Mbps
|
|
DUPLEX_MODE = 0 for half-duplex
|
|
= 1 for full-duplex
|
|
NWAY_OPTION = 0 for auto-negotiation off (true force)
|
|
= 1 for auto-negotiation on (nway force)
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
# insmod ./src/r8125.ko speed=100 duplex=0 autoneg=1
|
|
|
|
will force PHY to operate in 100Mpbs Half-duplex(nway force).
|
|
|
|
2. Force the link status by using ethtool.
|
|
a. Insert the driver first.
|
|
b. Make sure that ethtool exists in /sbin.
|
|
c. Force the link status as the following command.
|
|
|
|
2.5G before kernel v4.10
|
|
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x802f
|
|
|
|
2.5G for kernel v4.10 and later
|
|
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x80000000002f
|
|
|
|
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x002f (1G)
|
|
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x000f (100M full)
|
|
# ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x0003 (10M full)
|
|
|
|
<Jumbo Frame>
|
|
Transmitting Jumbo Frames, whose packet size is bigger than 1500 bytes, please change mtu by the following command.
|
|
|
|
# ifconfig ethX mtu MTU
|
|
|
|
, where X=0,1,2,..., and MTU is configured by user.
|
|
|
|
RTL8125 supports Jumbo Frame size up to 9 kBytes.
|
|
|
|
<EEE>
|
|
Get/Set device EEE status
|
|
|
|
Get EEE device status
|
|
# ethtool --show-eee enp1s0
|
|
|
|
Set EEE device status
|
|
# ethtool --set-eee enp1s0 eee on tx-lpi on tx-timer 1546 advertise 0x0008 (100M full)
|
|
# ethtool --set-eee enp1s0 eee on tx-lpi on tx-timer 1546 advertise 0x0020 (1G)
|
|
# ethtool --set-eee enp1s0 eee on tx-lpi on tx-timer 1546 advertise 0x8000 (2.5G)
