RealTek 8125, Installing 25.1

[mer]

I have a device that has RealTek 8125 2.5GBe devices on it.  Booting into the installer for 25.1 it looks like the devices are not detected.  I'm assuming using a supported USB to ethernet dongle to install and then pkg install something will correct this.

Is this a correct assumption?

Thanks.

There is a Realtek vendor driver plugin but you cannot be sure it will cover your card or be stable unless you try.

Thanks.  Searching led to older threads implying all that, test booting of install media yesterday showed issues so figured I'd double check.
