Re: looking for testers for if_rge - RTL8125/8126/8127 ethernet driver

hi

Seems to work on the ASROCK TRX50 motherboard  using   15-Stable
with 1 x 2.5 Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000/2500 Mb/s (Dragon RTL8125BG) chipset.
Switch is Cisco 1 Gbit so no high 2.5 Gbit test possible


rge0: flags=1008843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,LOWER_UP> 
metric 0 mtu 1500
options=9b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM>
ether 9c:6b:00:a8:af:18
inet 192.168.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.XXX.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
status: active
nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
