Realtek device driver update

'autoselect flowcontrol'
'autoselect flowcontrol' doesn't even show up on the drop list. It's currently set to "media 1000baseT full-duplex"
I'm getting great performance with this driver!

@Jiffyjeeff Can you quantify "great performance"?
I get 600-700 mbps (which is good enough for me).

I have this realtek 2.5gbps nic based on the 8125 chip connected to my cable modem's 1gbps wan port. using a short 2ft Cat 8 cable I get 900 to 940 i'm on 1gb plan. Waiting to get one of the new cable modems with the 2.5gbps port. My latency is low between 15-16ms on speed test.

I resolved my issue by using a different switch that was 2.5gbps capable.

@jiffyjeeff That's not possible for me right now. I updated the drivers using the method above and will wait to see what happens. Is the method above the correct way to update the drivers? Why is the repository blocked by default? In other instructions I've read they skip the editing the two files commenting out the code. Another post I read someone ran a single command and it supposedly updated the driver. I will put up the links when I get a chance.

@jshoe I believe the driver should be apart of the freebsd version pfsens 2.5.2 is built on? Is the realtek driver not loading? have you checked dmesg in the command prompt?
-
@jiffyjeeff I have the newest version and a version number wasn't listed until after I used the method above. I read many people have this issue with the builtin driver. Do you know any of the answers to what I asked by chance?

@stephenw10 I started a new post since this is so old.

I will try this but I already performed the steps above in this post. It says all packages are up to date.
Thanks
