I think in the process of trying to install drivers from startech and then trying to use the DKMS drivers I made a mistake, following the basic DKMS install the drivers would not work. They would install but would not be picked up on a reboot and the TN9710P shows as unclaimed in a lshw. I saw the recent post ref this zip https://github.com/acooks/tn40xx-driver/files/5570081/tehuti.zip ran a make and install that also did not work. However if I do a insmod into the current 5.4 kernel it works fine. However with insmod I loose it as soon as I reboot and have to run insmod on each reboot. modprobe does not return an error, not sure what step I might have missed? Would really like to get the dkms version working if anyone has some suggestions.

I had the same issue. I resolved it in #40 here. I made a few changes to the StarTech source code and then I was able to build the driver and install it. Here's the direct link to my patched source code. Hope it helps!
