Question

Attempted all options and ended up with going down the path to firmware-b43-installer.

I have a TP-Link Archer T9E AC1900 PCI-E wireless adapter

My machine is running:

Ideas?

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 terminal command. — Pilot6, Feb 19 '16 at 10:41
hi all, after absolutely purging anything broadcom related and a number of reboots, I was able to get the 'wl' driver working.

This has now been resolved through the removal of conflicting broadcom drivers and installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package that provides the wl driver

As a side note, iwconfig doesn't appear to reflect the 'AC' and 5Ghz aspect of the card:
