rtl8125 driver

this is a working compiled rtl8125 module for kernel 4.14 please add it into next build.

Hello Erik,

unfortunately we need the source for this module to view it, audit it and build it for all architectures.

Is it the case that this module isn't supported in 4.14 at all? Did you try our development kernel from here?

I have source if needed also. Yes it works of 4.14. That was compiled and
worked on untangle and have had it working on other 4.14 kernels. I will
attach the .tar for it with src code

Realek 8125 chips are supported by the r8169 module of kernel 5.10.
If it not work with the new kernel there is a firmware missing not the module.

I will not add a extra module and remove it in some weeks.
