[Testers-Needed] Converting Any Realtek Ethernet to Intel Killer Ethernet chip

[THEBOSS619]

Any luck getting the RTL8156 usb chipset to accept the Killer drivers?

I have the "Realtek Gaming USB 2.5GbE Family Controller" variant with the following HWIDs:
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8156&REV_3104
USB\VID_0BDA&PID_8156

Will try to do it and look into it as soon as I get free time for it will get back to you with new driver if needed

Been following up till now and I'm curious if anyone has had any success with:
Realtek PCIe 5GbE: 8126 chipset

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8126&SUBSYS_012310EC&REV_01
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8126&SUBSYS_012310EC

No rush, thank you.

Realtek driver I'm using is 10.73 (standard w/ power saving). Oddly, they keep changing the date stamp on the driver and its file size has grown but the version # has stayed the same. ( there were older ones, 10.71 and 10.72, which seemed a little off, like they are still developing the driver or patching for security? )

Definitely no rush...it'll be interesting to see if the Killer drivers make this chip perform any better.

STILL NO RUSH

Just want to document another DATE STAMP change with same version number:
I don't understand what's happening on their end (Realtek)?

I can try

PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&SUBSYS_23141565&REV_05
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&SUBSYS_23141565
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8125&CC_0200

I'm using your wifi drivers and they work like a charm.

Will add it to my to-do list regarding ethernet driver development unfortunately it is still on pause until further notice, the place I am currently in doesn't provide any kind of ethernet access so I can't develop further blindly without testing it.

I'm really sorry for late reply, for unknown reasons , I didn't receive any kind of notification of your post, times stamp changes doesn't mean that they made changes on drivers, as long as .sys file is not touched and have the same versioning numbers then it will always be the same
