Adding Realtek driver RTL8125

[hendymendy]

Dear Community,

I am having issues adding the Realtek driver for the 2.5Gbit Ethernet ports of my OdroidH2+. Unfortunately, the ports are not installed automatically.
I have tried to add the FreeBSD drivers from Realtek but installation fails with "pkg: /aaa/bbb.tgz is not a valid package: no manifest found".
Searching https://www.freebsd.org for an updated driver package didn't succeed either.

I found some older trials and tweaks which might work but I am new to FreeBSD and pfsense and don't trust my Kernel manipulation (yet).

freebsd-Version: 11.3-stable
Repositories and catalogues are all up-to-date
Driver-package needed: RTL8125(B)

I thank you in advance for your help!

In general using Realtek network interfaces for anything server/infrastructure oriented is just a bad idea. They simply aren't particularly reliable, and usually perform poorly.
