Adding computer to FOG

to get this one-off kernel I started with the kernel config file for 1.5.9 and copied it into the linux 5.9.3 build tree. I updated CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE field to include the firmware for the rt8125 nic card and built the kernel

Thanks for working this out! As far as I see we can add those three firmware blobs to our official kernel - be it 4.19 based or later.

Update: Just added.

Yes you can but its not necessary in this case because it was the combination of the firmware blobs AND 5.9.x to get support for the 8125B version.

See the RHEL Bugzilla report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1854314 that is what sent me down the 5.9 path, because 5.8.x didn’t work even with the firmware. The OP found this in his syslog in FOS unknown chip XID 641

@george1421 Ahhh, missed that part. But nonetheless I think it doesn’t hurt to have it added even now so we don’t forget as soon as we update the kernel to 5.9 and later.
