I have the rev 05 version of that controller. I have been using the
driver from here

Perhaps looking over the pages at
https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=75891&p=319289 or more
specifically https://centos.pkgs.org/7/elrepo-x86_64/kmod-r8125-9.003.05-1.el7_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm.html
will help you get this going as long as you don't mind using a third
party repository on the system.
