Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE adapter
has anybody tested the Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE adapter(usually on motherboards like Asus' B650 Wi-Fi) on bazzite and can tell me if hotspot(wifi 6, 5Ghz) works?
I tried on linux mint and even with kernel 6.14 it doesnt.
I just need this info before I decide to move over

the realtek 8125 works perfectly, but it is a NIC (for ethernet), not for wifi. You are looking for the wifi chipset, not the NIC
which one does the ASUS b650-plus wifi has
run lspci
I'm guessing that should show it
https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=446803 it should be on my post here
it's a Realtek RTL8852BE
it's supported, in theory, by https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

*which is in the upstream linux kernel
I have the same one, and while it did work, it was horribly unstable. I ended up simply installing an intel AX210
but you can also create an issue on their github
ooooo nice
Sorry forgot to ask but, since u tested, did you make an issue report on the github saying how it went, issues etc?
no, I didn't I just switched, I had other things on my mind. And now, I can't bothered to reinstall it
