We have built a kmod-r8125 package and released it to the main elrepo 
repository. Packages are syncing to the mirrors and should be available 
shortly:

kmod-r8125-9.003.05-1.el7_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
r8125-kmod-9.003.05-1.el7_8.elrepo.src.rpm

Please would you test and let us know how you get on.

Thanks,

Phil
