https://linux-hardware.org/?view=search&vendorid=10ec&deviceid=8136 indicates 
it is Fast Ethernet.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=10ec:8136 also indicates Fast Ethernet.

What's the reason you filed it against firmware-realtek? Correctly identifying 
the hardware is the job of the kernel (which then can request firmware).

Based on the hardware ID it looks like it does NOT support GbE.

FWIW, you used hardware ID [10ec:0123] (not [10ec:8136])
That page includes information which should've been part of this bug report...

"this no-name adapter uses the Realtek RTL8111C chipset"
Why do you think that?
