Agreed, Intel gave up and released the I226 because their I225 brand was so tarnished. I removed the I225 from my server after I noticed the driver crashing during heavy loads (Ubuntu 22.04). For USB I've been having success with the rtl8156bg from juplink.

I226 has the same bugs as i225, so I'm pretty sure it's just another hardware revision of the terrible i225 but renamed to try and trick consumers.
