Package: firmware-atheros Version: 20160110-1~bpo8+1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
for an Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro I need to install atheros-firmware from debian backports to support this wireless card. From time to time the firmware crashes when the accesspoint the laptop is connected to, changes the bandwith (see below syslog). The AP is a Fritzbox 7312 with the latest firmware 06.50. This also happens after installing the latest firmware for the Qualcomm Card from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174 ############################# Sep 28 18:20:03 debian kernel: [ 322.058702] wlan0: AP 24:65:11:df:76:52 changed bandwidth, new config is 2462 MHz, width 2 (2452/0 MHz) Sep 28 18:20:03 debian kernel: [ 322.101455] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware crashed!
