    • RE: What to do about Realtek RTL8125 RTL8126 RTL8127 drivers

      @Andrew I bought a RTL8126 5G card (because of the price) for my home lab that doesn't appear to be working with 8.3 like you said. It is trying to use the r8125 driver.

      [08:53 tw-xcp-ng-02 ~]# ethtool -i eth2
      driver: r8125
      version: 9.012.04-NAPI-PTP-RSS
      firmware-version: 
      expansion-rom-version: 
      bus-info: 0000:02:00.0
      supports-statistics: yes
      supports-test: no
      supports-eeprom-access: no
      supports-register-dump: yes
      supports-priv-flags: no
      

      I removed the r8125 driver and manually installed the r8126 driver which I downloaded from here. I can see the interface using the driver, and it shows the 5G capabilities of the driver, however I cannot get this to negotiate the speed (see below). I have tried this with a 2.5G switch and a 10G switch. The 10G switch can negotiate down to 5G so that shouldn't be an issue. On both switches it shows its connection as just fast ethernet. If I manually set the port on the switch to 5G I will not even get a link light.

      Would you happen to have any suggestions or ideas to get the card working?

    • RE: New XCP-ng "theme" in shell

      @olivierlambert It just shows that people are passionate about this project.

      In the end you cannot make everyone happy, but since you are seeking feedback I will provide my 2 cents.

      @olivierlambert I like this one the best so far. I like how there is a lot less red, but still some there.
