Maybe this should target staging because it forces a rebuild of the Linux kernel?? Not honestly sure about how the process for getting driver updates accepted works. Working on building locally in meantime, but running into a few build problems, looks like it's due to my machine though (e.g. running out of space).

Not sure, perhaps @jonringer would know.

Also note that 9.003.04 is broken on the latest kernel (5.6) as Realtek hasn't released a new version yet.

Here's the result of my nixpkgs-review pr 85669. Take some of this with a grain of salt b/c of the "out of space" issue mentioned above.

2 package marked as broken and skipped:
linuxPackages_hardkernel_4_14.r8125 linuxPackages_hardkernel_latest.r8125

6 package failed to build:

All of the linuxPackages_latest and linuxPackages_5_6 are expected to fail because r8125 hasn't been updated for that kernel yet. Not sure about linuxPackages_xen_dom0_hardened.
