I recently purchased a TP-Link TX401 network adapter, which is based on the Marvell AQC-107 controller.
- This card works flawlessly under Windows 10.
- When booting into Manjaro however it seems to be visible via terminal as enp2s0 (but not in the KDE GUI), but is unable to establish a link.
Here is the ethtool output:
ethtool enp2s0
Settings for enp2s0:

Looking online it seems that there may be a firmware update which fixes this in Linux, but the information is not exactly official and i don’t feel like bricking a CAD$150 network card.
Does anyone have experience getting these to work?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
