This is REALLY new HW and it is the first motherboard I found that had the
8126.
I purposely avoid the 2.5G wired networking because I found so many issues
googling around with motherboards from all different vendors.

Most motherboards seem to still have the 8125 even realtek.com just points you
to the 8125 driver.

So if I understand you correctly, the 8169 module would probably work since it
supports the 8125 ( which is the driver I'm using ) it is just not currently
recognizing that ID and someone would need to backport that id to the r8169
module.
