I have my NAS running Ubuntu Server 14.04, now I need to add a PCIe AC wireless card and I want to use this one, Archer T9E:

http://www.tp-link.com/en/products/details/cat-11_Archer-T9E.html

but in that site there's only windows drivers,

so, is this card compatible with Ubuntu Server 14.04? has anybody try this combination before? or what card should I buy?

  • Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A2` terminal command. – Pilot6 Jul 04 '16 at 14:28

  • @Pilot6 nothing, bcos I don't have the card yet, I don't want to buy a card that doesn't work: seele@heimdall:~$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 seele@heimdall:~$ – Alfredo M Jul 04 '16 at 14:41
  • You need to find out what chip is inside. – Pilot6 Jul 04 '16 at 14:42
  • @Amias This is another adapter. – Pilot6 Jul 04 '16 at 14:42
  • @Amias maybe, but t9e is ac1900 and t8e is ac1750 – Alfredo M Jul 04 '16 at 14:46
  • It is much more important which chip is inside, not the speed. – Pilot6 Jul 04 '16 at 14:48

    I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because shopping recommendations and hardware compatibility (theoretical) is off-topic. – Pilot6 Jul 04 '16 at 14:49

This adapter is based on BCM4360 chip. It is supported by the proprietary Broadcom driver (wl).

But Tp-Link is known for changing the hardware in their products without changing the brand name, just a revision. They may release a completely new product with the same name.
