Wrong driver loaded (r8169 instead of r8125) about realtek-r8125-dkms HOT 5 CLOSED

Actually, that isn't intended. I thought that the system should load both two drivers at the same time but sounds it is not.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I will edit autorun.sh back to the original state by your actual experience.

For those who read this issue thread: This is not related to the Debian packaging way. :)

I found that it also affects delivering the driver as a DKMS package. If the r8169 driver exists on the system then the r8125 driver will not load properly. I should update my Debian packaging scripts to add some codes to remove the existing legacy driver. Anyway, thank you for the report. 😄

@awesometic I need to run r8169 and r8125 simultaneously, since I have two NICs in my computer: one integrated RTL8168 and an addon-card with a RTL8125B chipset. Is this not possible?

@terr72 ,

Sorry for the late reply. How about removing the RTL8125 firmware files from the /lib/firmware/rtl_nic directory? Like the sudo rm -f /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125* command. Then I think the r8169 module won't load the firmware for the RTL8125 chipset so that it could make the r8125 module working properly.

Hope this works. 🤔

@awesometic我需要同时运行 r8169 和 r8125，因为我的计算机中有两个 NIC：一个集成 RTL8168 和一个带有 RTL8125B 芯片组的附加卡。这不可能吗？

sudo echo 'alias r8169 off' >> /etc/modprobe.d/dkms.conf
sudo echo 'r8125' >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
sudo reboot
