#87809 — Bug#1107135: linux: Missing support for RTL8125D

Source: linux
Severity: normal

RTL8125D and RTL8125D.rev2 have been available in consumer products since at
least October 2024 (e.g.: Asus Z890 motherboards).

The "firmware-realtek" package already has the required files in unstable and
testing:
/usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125d-1.fw
/usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125d-2.fw

I believe we just need to backport the following linux commits to fully enable
their support on Debian:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f75d1fbe7809bc5ed134204b920fd9e2fc5db1df
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/b3593df26ab19f114d613693fa8a92ab202803d0

Please consider backporting them so that Debian trixie supports these
motherboards. Without this, installing Debian trixie on these systems will be a
hassle.

Regards,

We had today a brief discussion about your request in the weekly
kernel team meeting, and we do not really aim to start backporting
such changes with may become more problematic in future while we
frequently rebase versions in stable (as we follow the stable upstream
releases). We though about it, and think this might be worth asking
the stable maintainers upstream for inclusion, which I will do next.

If the request is accepted then fine, and we can as well pick the
change in advance in the next uploads. But if it gets denied I have do
defer you to please use the backports kernel (once trixie is
released).

Regards,
Salvatore

I had a brief look at this today an the second commit won't apply
cleanly. I suspect we will open a can of worms here, so if you feel
strong about having that support in the 6.12.y series can you please
apporach upstream and ask for inclusion? 

While the second is almost "trivial" change per se, it depends for
instance on b299ea006928 ("r8169: adjust version numbering for
RTL8126") which changes around the version numberings already.

Upstream will usually want a clean series of commits to apply, this
preferred to manual backport of patches.

I will close this bug with the first version including both commits.
In case at a later stage the 6.12.y series upstream will include the
support we will automatically pick them up as well.

Thanks for your understanding so far,

Regards,
Salvatore

Indeed it's better if something like this comes from upstream, I understand the
preference to not backport this.

Sounds good.

I appreciate that you've looked into this, I know the kernel team is very busy.

Thank you,

#87889

Hello,

The support for Realtek cards (88xx) is horrible in the kernel, I
don't know about this card, but mine is from the same manufacturer via
PCI and is having problems that I have already reported to the Debian
BTS. But the upstream is aware. Maybe it will also be added in the
future via backports (newer kernel in this context) which would also
be satisfactory and in case the 6.12.x series does not adopt the
support.
