Error installing Drivers for Realtek Ethernet Controller (RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller)

I am attempting to install the drivers for my RealTek Ethernet Controller (RTL8125) so I can use that ethernet port on my PC. I have downloaded the drivers from the Realtek website, but when running the 'autorun.sh' file I receive the following output (with errors) in my terminal:

Check old driver and unload it.
Build the module and install
At main.c:160:

Completed.

I am still relatively new to Ubuntu, so any help would be appreciated. I am not sure what the SSL Errors or the 'modeprobe: Error: could not insert 'r8125'' errors are referring to or how to fix them.

Thanks!

Did you run the autorun.sh as sudo? Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

What is the response to: `sudo modprobe r8125` ?

Please give a link to the driver file you downloaded so that I may examine it.

What is your kernel version? `uname -r` Also show: `lsmod | grep r8`

Please disable Secure Boot in the BIOS/EFI and try again starting at:`sudo ./autorun.sh`

I switched from 'Windows UEFI' Mode to 'Other OS' Mode in the Secure Boot menu in my BIOS and that seems to have fixed it. Thanks! Would you mind explaining this answer?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
