I got it working, and confirmed the bug, only problem is it will get
overwritten with the next patch, and others cant use the fix.
Hopefully this is a quick fix for a proc dev.
This is how i did it
When you try to compile the drivers you get
./r8152-2.15.0/r8152.c:18530:25: error: initialization of ‘int (*)(struct
net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *, struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *,
struct netlink_ext_ack *)’ from incompatible pointer type ‘int (*)(struct
net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *)’ [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
18530 | .get_coalesce = rtl8152_get_coalesce,
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
./r8152-2.15.0/r8152.c:18530:25: note: (near initialization for
‘ops.get_coalesce’)
./r8152-2.15.0/r8152.c:18531:25: error: initialization of ‘int (*)(struct
net_device *, struct ethtool_coalesce *, struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *,

I had a look at the code and googled (i cant code in C or C++ btw)
This site had similar code
https://sbexr.rabexc.org/latest/sources/26/53bfa290b96570.html#0000e00100031001
so i made the following changes to the realtek code. not sure if it
right or performant, but it now compiles
# diff ./r8152.c ../r8152-2.15.0/r8152.c
18339,18341c18339
< struct ethtool_coalesce *coalesce,
< struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *,
< struct netlink_ext_ack *)

< struct ethtool_coalesce *coalesce,
< struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *,
< struct netlink_ext_ack *)
<
---
> struct ethtool_coalesce *coalesce)
make install copied the code , but throws the following error, looks to
do with code signing ??? Any way i ignored it
At main.c:160:
- SSL error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:

- SSL error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file:

I ran
# sudo depmod -a
# sudo update-initramfs -u
as requested by the drivers readme file
rebooted

Title:
Out of date driver with no capabilities for 2.5Gb full duplex
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Running on the latest release of ubuntu 22.04, with a usb-2.5gb
ethernet dongle containing the 8156b chip.
This chip is supported 8156b by the R5182 driver.
see https://www.realtek.com/en/component/zoo/category/network-
interface-controllers-10-100-1000m-gigabit-ethernet-usb-3-0-software
The repository states the driver is not required above kernel 5.6, but the
driver in this release of ubuntu looks to be out of date
# modinfo r8152.ko
filename: /lib/modules/5.15.0-25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/usb/r8152.ko
version: v1.12.12
and v 2.15.0 int he realtek repository
The driver only allows the max speed is 2500 / half

and the command to increase the speed
ethtool -s enx5c857e38e9b7 autoneg on advertise 0x80000000002f
responds with
netlink error: Operation not supported
I tried to build the driver, but it fails to build on ubuntu 22.04, but
builds fine on older released ( in know not much help)
