I recently bought a TP-Link Archer T6E. The lspci command doesn't detect it. I found on this website than the chipset used is "Broadcom BCM4352" but there is no mention of Broadcom on the doc or on the website of the TP-Link's product.

I tried to install broadcom-wl by following instructions on this Github page but I've no result.

Here is the result of lspci :

And my /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file :

# alias expansion, usually so some other driver will be loaded for the
# device instead.

sudo lshw -C network gives nothing about the device :

There's nothing in dmsg about this. I already saw other questions about broadcom drivers but in other cases, the driver is detected by lspci.

There's no mention of the support of Ubuntu but I assumed than it should be correct because the Chipset seems to be supported. I was wrong? What can I do?

Have you seen Broadcom BCM4352 Wireless not working with 16.10?

Broadcom is a PITA (see urban dictionary), since they do not provide any information about their hardware. I've had a lot of problems with their hardware (on Linux)
If there is no driver, the system might not recognize it..

The only way to get it running is to install the correct (non-open) drivers.

But someone else had the same question, which was answered here. They seemed to solve it by using the "Additional Drivers" Software, in Ubuntu. For this feature to work, your machine needs to be online (e.g. with a temporary Ethernet connection). Always reboot the machine before using the driver...

The solution was finally to change the PCI slot. I tried with two slots and it wasn't working. I changed for a third one and it works.
