On kernel 5.16.10 I get

ERROR: Missing proc kernel headers for module ax88179_178a-dkms/1.20.0.
ERROR: Missing usr kernel headers for module ax88179_178a-dkms/1.20.0.

(same for all other kernel headers) during install.

Installing the package linux-headers (kinda obviously, I guess) fixes this. Maybe that should be a build dependency of this package?

Gonna leave this here for others who run into the issue.

EDIT: Even with this package installed, internet stops working if I go over 100Mbps. dmesg show the following (multiple times):

xhci_hcd 0000:0f:00.0: ERROR Transfer event TRB DMA ptr not part of current TD ep_index 4 comp_code 1

Relevant dmesg output during startup is

[    2.273391] ax88179_178a: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

Any ideas what I could do about this?

EDIT 2: Using ethtool to set the speed of the connection to 100Mbps is a temporary fix - at least the network doesn't drop anymore. ethtool -s enp15s0u1 speed 100 (device name is enp15s0u1 in my case, see ip a)

After installing it on my manjaro, I have these two lines : [ 2.280971] ax88179_178a: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel. [ 2.281012] ax88179_178a: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel

How can I signed this kernel module ?

Package corrected. Should be good now :)

As already reported, the driver file URL returns a 404. It was possible to download at the following URL.

https://www.asix.com.tw/en/support/download/file/120

For me just https://www.asix.com.tw/en/support/download/file/120 works (without the timestamp parameter). The checksum appears to match. (However, it's rather unclear what the latest version is.)

The URL for the driver 404s. A working URL I got was https://www.asix.com.tw/en/support/download/file/120?time=1602286472966 but I'm not sure that will hold up over time.

@all Package updated :)
