- TS8351
- TS8352
- TS8360
- TS8370

Which is yours please?

Also, what is the output of:

lsb_release -a; uname -a

If you download the driver and extract it then there is a folder with "install.sh" inside it. Run that using a terminal. I suggest you run it as user (without sudo first) then if you are asked to enter your password, do so (you should receive no feedback as you type. This is normal).

Can you help with this problem?
