The LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext has a small bug in it stopping the Realtek 2.5gb ethernet port from connecting when it’s set to Automatic.
If your at the install stage and your getting a warning that you have no internet connection then you need to do 1 of 2 things to correct it.
Install Notes
Method 1
This will manually setup the connection speed of the port and get it working.
Method 2
In Big Sur you need togo into System Preferences -> Network and select the Realtek Ethernet Port (Not the one marked Ethernet 2) and then click on Advanced -> Hardware and set Configure to Manually and set the Speed to 1000baseT then click OK. This will kick the Realtek Ethernet Port into life and keep it that way.
