I have recently dual boot'd my new rig for my data science stuff. So yea...I'm purely new here Ubuntu (Tho. I hear'd Linux/Ubuntu already lol). I'm currently running an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with a kernel ver. of 5.4.0-42-generic. As of the moment, I'm running with an ethernet cable and ofc problems with regards to installing the ethernet drivers from Realtek.

Firstly, I checked the network description which indicates a network unclaimed...

$ sudo lshw -C network
*-network UNCLAIMED       
   description: Ethernet controller
   product: RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller
   vendor: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
   physical id: 0
   bus info: pci@0000:05:00.0
   version: 04
   width: 64 bits
   clock: 33MHz
   capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix vpd cap_list
   configuration: latency=0
   resources: ioport:f000(size=256) memory:fc500000-fc50ffff memory:fc510000-fc513fff

As I scoured in previous forums, you can easily download the drivers from this -> Realtek. I DID! the steps from the README file only to hit a road block yet again.

By running the autorun.sh file from the command line, it just says

$ sudo ./autorun.sh
Check old driver and unload it.
Build the module and install
./autorun.sh: 31: make: not found

I give it a shot find out my ethernet card and it says

$ lspci -knn | grep Eth -A3
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller [10ec:8125] (rev 04)
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller [1043:87d7]
    Kernel modules: r8169
06:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation Device [10de:2484] (rev a1)

I'm literally needing some help or someone who can thoroughly guide me on how to 'install' the ethernet drivers on this one. :C
