   Hi   
   Easiest way is to ask (bug report) if the bits for the 8125 kernel can   
   be back ported to the r8169 kernel module... there are only two PCI   
   ID's and firmware for that device so far, or as a KMP....   
      
   /sbin/modinfo r8169 |egrep "8125|3000"   
      
   firmware:       rtl_nic/rtl8125a-3.fw   
   alias:          pci:v000010ECd00003000sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
