https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D272686 Stefan E=C3=9Fer <se@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |se@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Stefan E=C3=9Fer <se@FreeBSD.org> --- The RTL8125 driver is available as a port and package (net/realtek-re-kmod, realtek-re-kmod), it is based on the driver sources provided by Realtek. This driver is based on a very old version of the driver in FreeBSD, it lac= ks support for features that have been introduced into FreeBSD since the date = when Realtek created its fork (e.g. NETMAP, generic PHY support). The advantage of the Realtek driver is that it provides some 30 device spec= ific firmware patches that work around the bugs of each supported chip. I had started to merge the RTL8125 specific functionality into the FreeBSD driver, 3 years ago, but have given up since Realtek considers programming information for their chips confidential and the example drivers did not contain all information required for integration into if_re and the generic= PHY driver. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
