Support for Realtek's RTL8127atf and RTL8116af wired networking ASICs has been queued into the net-next tree for the upcoming Linux 7.4 kernel.
For engineers building or maintaining Linux systems, native support for these newer Realtek wired networking chips means no need for out-of-tree drivers or manual patching. The inclusion in net-next indicates the support is on track for the Linux 7.4 release, which is relevant for those planning kernel upgrades or custom builds.
