I'm having issues switching my network connection from the onboard controller to a new TP-Link TX201 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter. Can someone please help me with this issue that has got this controller working in Ubuntu Server 20.04?
The card is currently showing network UNCLAIMED. My goal is to convert the settings from my existing controller and switch them to the new controller, then change the cable to the new network controller.
Here is all the information on the system:
