[Solved] No wireless interface using a PCI-E wireless card

Hello everyone

I am trying to get my pci-e wireless card to show up as a wireless interface in my live usb but i'm not sure why it is not.

The wireless card is a "TP-LINK Archer T6E AC1300"
Image is "archlinux-2016.03.01-dual.iso"

dmesg | grep -i "broad"

b43-phy0: Broadcom 4352 WLAN found (core revision 42)
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNLS ]

lcpci -k

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev03)
Subsystem: Broadcom Corporation Device 0619
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: bcma

ip link

1: lo ...
2: enp0s31f6 ...

The card works in windows 10. I installed it and it works without any issues.

If i plug in a wifi usb I can get a wireless connection without issues

1: lo ...
2: enp0s31f6 ...
3: wlp0s20f0u11 ...

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you

That one may need a 4.4 kernel to work, post

uname -r; lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net

Hi Jeremy

I installed arch using the usb wireless card and then i did "sudo yaourt -S broadcom-wl". rebooted and problem solved. I guess another case of overthinking-ness.

thanks man

Thank you oh so much. I literally just registered to say thank you. But seriously thank you, it worked. And sorry for being 4 years late, now none of you will ever see this message.

While it's nice to hear this helped you, please don't necrobump 4 year old threads.
