TP Link makes a lot of crap, most of which is targeted at Windows.

The TG-3468 appears to be a Realtek clone and it looks like TP Link distributes a custom driver for it for FreeBSD. Unfortunately, this is not going to be useful, as TrueNAS is an appliance OS and does not offer the ability to install custom drivers.

Best suggestion here is to instead acquire an Intel Desktop CT ethernet card from a legitimate source (i.e. don't get an eBay or Amazon fake knockoff).
