Are you sure that you don't have a new tab in the Plugins tab that is named "Plugins Error"? Did you wait until your server sent you a notification that it is safe to reboot when doing the upgrade? If you don't have any issues with the built in driver then the answer is: no. during the upgrade to 6.12.10, unraid shows it failed to install new version of this plugin(which I am sure it was already the lastest version), then it shows the uninstallation of this plugin somehow? Then I wait for the notice about upgrade finishing, reboot, the driver is gone, and everything still working. Quote Link to comment

Through a notification in the top right corner correct? Are you sure that you don't have a "Plugins Error" tab in the Plugins section from Unraid? 9 minutes ago, xyzeratul said: Then I wait for the notice about upgrade finishing, reboot, the driver is gone, and everything still working. If everything is working then leave it as it is, if you got issues then I would recommend installing this plugin again. Quote Link to comment

OK I will test the new version for a few days see how it goes, Thank you Quote Link to comment
jacobbraeutigam Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Is it possible to add the Realtek 8126 drivers to this driver plugin? The source is available on the realtek page. Quote Link to comment

The source is available on the realtek page. Yes, it should be able to be supported, looks like a good 5G NIC. Hopefully the r8157 USB NIC will come out soon so it can be paired. The r8157 driver code is already there in r8152 plugin. @ich777 I have updated the source code for r8126, can you please add it to the build. Thank you.

This will take me probably one or two days since I'm not at home but I will do it ASAP and let you know! (Maybe I can free up some time later today) Quote Link to comment

jinlife Posted June 13 Author Share Posted June 13 @ich777 I apologize for the additional request, but when you are performing the build, could you please trigger the compilation for version Unraid 6.12.10 with both r8126 and r8152. I have updated the r8152 version to 2.18.1 while integrating the r8126 code, which supports the r8157 5G network card. This update will enable support for both 5G PCI and USB network cards in the 6.12.10 release. Quote Link to comment

jacobbraeutigam Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Thank's a lot! My first impressions after one day of usage: it runs stable package C-states can be reached power draw of the NIC approx. 0.6W above RTL8125 (as expected) for the most part the speed is as expected when transmitting many small packets, the RTL8126 is slower than an RTL8125 (without any noticeable impact of the MTU) 2 Quote Link to comment
Szene Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Hi, it there currently an issue with r8125 and 6.12.10? If I install it I'm only seeing half the speed of an GbE connection even if I'm connected to an 2.5GbE connection. It doen't matter if I turn ASPM on or leave it off. When I uninstall the driver it defaults back to the r8169 and I get my 2.5GbE connections speeds just fine, but then I can't enable ASPM. I can see the last version for r8125 is from the 4th of April 2024, is there a potential newer version? Currently I can decide between 2 option: No Plugin: C3 but 2.5GbE speeds With Plugin: C8 but around 300-450Mb/s Both aren't great. I also tried to disable EEE, but that didn't change anything.

Any idea what could cause the significant speed drop when the drivers are installed? My goal would be for the speed not to drop and to keep the higher C-states.

This is the latest driver from realtek, we just compiled it for unraid. I may not know the reason for the performance problem, maybe it is related to the CPU or ASPM, maybe it is related to the hardware. It is recommended to use the r8169 driver directly, at least the speed is full. Edited June 23 by jinlife 1 Quote Link to comment
