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
:

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?
