Hi,
Turns out the realtek-re-kmod wasn't working out for me after all,
machine started repeatedly crashing.
Committed the port net/realtek-rge-kmod hoping to attract more testers.
So far, works out great for me. GMKTek M5 Plus / AMD 5825U / Dual RTL8215
FreeBSD 15.0-RC4-p1 releng/15.0-n280991-c7ccd5b3f879 GENERIC amd64
Testing with 2 clients, both 100 parallel streams iperf3 bidirectional
for 10 minutes did showed negligible load.
rge0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec
device=0x8125 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x8125
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
device = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
rge1@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec
device=0x8125 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x8125
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
device = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
Cheers, Bernard.
