Thank you for the request, and the references. Passing it on.
To kernel for that bit; CC tools for the installer side.

It should be available already in cauldron on i586 and x86_64 (CONFIG_R8169 is not enabled on arm, we should fix that), however it seems we forgot to update kernel-firmware package and still have 20200721.

We should also update kernel-firmware when updating kernel to 5.9 for Mageia 7 and it should fix this.

Actually kernel-firmware-nonfree, which is the relevant one here, was already updated to 20201022 so it should be fine already in Cauldron.

Sorry for my late comment here, but it seems last official kernel support this NIC in r8169 module without doing anything

Closing then
