I have Proxmox installed on an old laptop (without a LAN card) so I added a USB LAN card, model AX88179.
after a new installation of proxmox and issuing the update command

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]


the update is performed, the reboot command is issued
ican't access proxmox 10.13.1.123 gui after restart. Network card diodes are not lit.
This is probably a problem with the LAN card driver.
so I would like to upload the driver manually
link to the manufacturer's website and the driver
https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/USBEthernet/Super-Speed_USB_Ethernet/AX88179


after downloading the file:
asix_usb_nic_linux_driver_v3.1.0.tar.bz2
I don't know what steps I should take to install these drivers manually?
