Network Connection not working with Ubuntu 24.04.2 and Realtek r8125 Ethernet/WiFi

I found a lot of discussion on UFW logging “polluting” dmesg output, so I’m ignoring those [UFW BLOCK] messages and returning to trying to learn how to find out which driver is being used for my RTL8125. It used to work fine, for about 3 months after I did the “patching” (my term; may not be correct) beginning with

git clone https://github.com/notpeelz/r8125.git

Then about 10 days ago it quit working, and even though I do that same “patching” again, it never works. I think my system updated something so it is a software issue, but I don’t know what to do to document what software is actually in use, and I am reluctant to file a bug report without proper documentation.

So, I’m sorry, Jonathan, but I can’t help with your issue either.

Jeremy, or any administrator, will you please re-open my topic

[ RTL8125 2.5GbE Ethernet port not working in Ubuntu 24.04 ]

and I will go back there and try to learn how to make progress.

Best wishes to All on this Topic.
