Hi,

Tested briefly on RTL8125 (0x8125), unfortunately only with 1Gbit
speed only (don't have relevant hardware to test higher speeds).
Copied some files bigger files from NFS, used for browsing, etc.
Didn't notice anything unusual, works well.

rge0 at pci8 dev 0 function 0: Realtek Semiconductor 8125
10/100/1G/2.5G Ethernet (rev. 0x05)
rge0: interrupting at msix4 vec 0
rge0: HW rev. B
