Hi I was unable to find these question via search and google.
There are lots of these realtek 2.5Gbps nics (single, dual, quad) from china for £60 based on
RTL8125B chipset.
Has anyone used one with latest openwrt build or maybe there is a kmod package or driver build into the current available 22.03.2 already?
thanks
Same chip, different amount of them?
AFAIK, it is, might need to add the kmod manually though.
Boot from a USB flash drive, see if it works.
seems part of the r8169 https://linuxreviews.org/Realtek_RTL_8125
so yes support should be there as long as you install https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.2/targets/x86/64/kmods/5.10.146-1-5d4fa2bd675198961db287e63a2370e2/kmod-r8169_5.10.146-1_x86_64.ipk
thanks that is good to hear, I wish I had one to test it but still totally newbie with openwrt, so was planning on buying an 2 or 4 port version, yes they have different names some from Syba to IOcrest
Those are the cheapest prices I could find, worth checking ebay/amazon and aliexpress, lots are coming from China area also.
They all use the RTL8125B chipset, would still be awesome if an owner can 100% confirm it works and which kmod? package they used to get it up and running.
thank you, I will keep that link bookmarked and in my notes.
If I do get my openwrtx86 built and use the realtek 2.5gbps nics, I will give it a testing and pop back here to let community know.
It's the vendor, chip is/chips are still the same.
Search for RTL8125 here at the forum.
The chip is well supported, it's in lots of motherboards offering 2,5 Gbps NICs nowadays.
