anyone know why they released a driver with powersaving disabled
to work around a bug?

I found inside the Win 10 - 10.068.0815.2023 old drivers..?

Some Realtek 2.5GbE have issues with powersaving mode since 2021 year.

Yes, driver versions for both of these W10 & W11 packs are the same old that released back in July-Aug 2023 a few months ago,
