Support for Realtek 2.5 Gbe Ethernet device on a Gigabyte X870 WI-FI 7 Motherboard

I know that - not all hardware are created with Linux compatibility.

One of the reason one cannot stress the importance of checking driver options for Linux before a large hardware purchase.

Searching for a driver - there is very few with working solutions - here is two working suggestions - a working solution requires the person providing the solution to have the exact same chipset implementation as your board.

Unable to use Ethernet (Realtek RTL8125 rev 0c)

[SOLVED] Hardware issues with new MOBO - Gigabyte X870E / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums

Github links - sources to manually compile a driver

GitHub - tmacro/r8125: r8125 is the Linux device driver released for Realtek 2.5Gigabit Ethernet controllers with a PCI-Express interface

GitHub - notpeelz/r8125: Mirror for Realtek r8125 2.5G Ethernet Linux drivers

Because it is an onboard chip - it is a custom implementation by the vendor and upstream drivers from the chipset vendor may or may not work.
