I have installed Kubuntu 20.04 on my new PC based on MSI MAG B550 tomahawk motherboard. The motherboard has two Ethernet ports: one is gigabit and another is 2.5 gigabit. Gigabit port works, but 2.5 gigabit one not working.

Here's the output of sudo lshw -class network

  *-network

The system is running 5.4.0-42-generic kernel. I have tried to install r8168-dkms package but got the same results as listed above. Windows 10 successfully runs both Ethernet adapters.

Any ideas?

  • I've faced same issue too. The driver update may come soon, because The rtl8125b support has been added to the linux-next tree July 14. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek?h=next-20200720&id=0439297be95111cf9ef5ece2091af16d140ce2ef – bilal fedai Jul 25 '20 at 23:52
