Thanks - this helps. I can make that happen if needed.

Are there some steps on how to uninstall in case of the server not connecting to the network (ie. via console, command-line) I think that's all I need _just in case_

I have the following driver loaded and I believe this is what is being picked up by this plug-in. r8169 RealTek RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver Inuse net/ethernet/realtek For this: IOMMU group 28: [10ec:8125] 27:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller I want to make the change but I am: 1) unsure which driver to pick to install 2) worried if it breaks - I don’t know how to recover - is it via the console / command line? Complicating matters is I have this ethernet port bonded with another intel ethernet also on the motherboard. So I guess my amateur questions are: 1) should give this a go? 2) which driver do I pick? 3) any gotchas? I’m hoping it’s just a reboot and life moves on but reading the 8 pages on this thread have got me spooked. Thanks for any help you can provide. Cheers.
