How to get Newer RAID Card (ASMedia 1062 Chipset) Working on Ubuntu?

So I have a Mac Pro running Ubuntu Server 20.04 and it has a RAID card installed with four SATA drive bays. I have WD Red drives installed into two of the slots. The boot drive is a separate SSD.

The RAID card is a Newer MAXPower RAID card. It immediately works plug-and-play under both Windows and MacOS from a fresh install. The chipset claims to be an ASMedia 1062.

However under Linux with lspci -v it shows up as a HighPoint for some reason.

06:00.0 RAID bus controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. Device 1e10 (rev 03)
        Subsystem: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. Device 0000
        Physical Slot: 3
        Flags: fast devsel
        Memory at 90940000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128K]
        Memory at 90900000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=256K]
        Expansion ROM at 90960000 [disabled] [size=64K]
        Capabilities: <access denied>

I found a Linux driver on some sketchy that claims to be for the same chipset, and it installed successfully with the included instal.sh script, but it didn't seem to make the card work upon reboot.

Any ideas on how to make it work? And before you ask, no there's no BIOS settings to tweak. (Welcome to Apple-land, where things either Just work™ or they don't. But hey, can't argue that the hardware isn't built like a tank.)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
