Edimax EN-9320TX-E 10GbE Ethernet Card on Ubuntu and Fedora Linux

Unlike the Asus XG-C100C, the Edimax EN-9320TX-E 10G Ethernet card won’t work OOTB, because you need some firmware magic to make it work.

So first off, some prerequisites:

yum install dkms vim-common git curl || apt install dkms git curl
git clone -b vendor-drop/v0.3.6.16.1 https://github.com/acooks/tn40xx-driver.git /usr/src/tn40xx-001
cd /usr/src/tn40xx-001
curl -LO https://github.com/acooks/tn40xx-driver/files/2214805/x3310fw_0_3_3_0_9374.tar.gz
tar xf x3310fw_0_3_3_0_9374.tar.gz
make headers

Now edit /usr/src/tn40xx-001/dkms.conf like so:

PACKAGE_NAME=tn40xx
PACKAGE_VERSION=001
BUILT_MODULE_NAME[0]="$PACKAGE_NAME"
MAKE[0]="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} M=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build MV88X3310=YES AQ=YES"
CLEAN="make -C ${kernel_source_dir} M=${dkms_tree}/${PACKAGE_NAME}/${PACKAGE_VERSION}/build clean"
DEST_MODULE_LOCATION[0]=/extra
REMAKE_INITRD=no
AUTOINSTALL=yes

Finally build and install the module:

dkms add -m tn40xx -v 001
dkms install -m tn40xx -v 001 --verbose
modprobe tn40xx

Easy as pie!
