I recently got an MSI GS66 Stealth 10SFS laptop on which I immediately installed an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Everything is working fine, except for the Ethernet RJ45 port (that is working and recognized as "Killer W3100" on Windows 10).

I read a few things about such problems and they all ended up using a more recent kernel. Mine is 5.4.20-52, which is on-par with the current 5.4.73 "longterm".

Is there anything I can do to be able to use my ethernet cable?
