Maybe of interest:

1. same pi5 with ubuntu linux 26.04, the onboard eth0 interface:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr

[  5]   0.00-60.01  sec  6.53 GBytes   934 Mbits/sec                  receiver

2. same as [1] but with the usb3<>ethernet adapter as before.
    The system sees this as enx9c69d36abdfc

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ iperf3 -c 192.168.1.230 --bind-dev enx9c69d36abdfc --time 60 --get-server-output

[  5]   0.00-60.00  sec  6.57 GBytes   941 Mbits/sec                  receiver

3. openbsd 7.9 on rpi4b/8GB, onboard interface (bse0)

[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bitrate         Retr
[  4]   0.00-60.02  sec  5.73 GBytes   820 Mbits/sec    0            sender
[  4]   0.00-60.02  sec  5.73 GBytes   820 Mbits/sec                  receiver

4. same as [3]: had to disable bse0 because "system does not support bind to device"
    to make iperf3 use axen0

# ifconfig axen0
