https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search=10ec=8136 indicates 
it is Fast Ethernet.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=10ec:8136 also indicates Fast Ethernet.

What's the reason you filed it against firmware-realtek? Correctly identifying 
the hardware is the job of the kernel (which then can request firmware).

Based on the hardware ID it looks like it does NOT support GbE.

FWIW, you used hardware ID [10ec:0123] (not [10ec:8136])
That page includes information which should've been part of this bug report...

"this no-name adapter uses the Realtek RTL8111C chipset"
Why do you think that?

Bug#1061430: firmware-realtek: Realtek 10ec:8136 wrongly identified as Fast Ethernet instead of Gigabit

2024-01-24 Thread Răzvan Sandu

Package: firmware-realtek
Version: 20230210-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use stock Debian 12.x with non-free firmware installed, fully updated 
online.


I've noted that two Realtek-based Ethernet cards (hardware ID 
[10ec:8136], chipset RTL8111C) in my system operate as Fast Ethernet,
despite having Gigabit capability. They were advertised as "PCI-E 
Network Adapter" with support for Windows, Mac and GNU/Linux 
(10/100/1000 Mbps).


In order to help, I've entered full hardware data for this ID at 
https://h-node.org/ethernetcards/view/en/2358/Realtek-Semiconductor-Co---Ltd--RTL810xE-PCI-Express-Fast-Ethernet-controller--rev-05-


Please include correct identification data for this RTL8111C Ethernet 
controller, so it can use its full hardware capabilities.
