Package: firmware-atheros Version: 20190502-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Despite installing the firmware-atheros package through the firmware-linux- nonfree package, wifi still doesn't work. When booting, I am presented with the following messages: ath10k_pci 0000:07:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/pre-cal- pci-0000:07:00.0.bin (-2) firmware_class: See https://wiki.debian.org/Firmware for information about missing firmware ath10k_pci 0000:07:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/cal- pci-0000:07:00.0.bin (-2) I don't know whether these mean anything related to the problem I'm getting, but they are as close as I've got to a clue about what's going on. I've checked other bug reports, and there are some which are similar to mine. Typically, they include other error messages which report an inability to directly load certain firmware files. However, I don't get these. I'm currently on buster, and have tried installing the version of the package currently in unstable, but the same problems persisted after I did so, so I reverted back to the buster version. The wifi adapter does work on windows 10, but I don't know if it works on other distros. I don't know if this is a bug, or if I haven't done something I needed to, but I would appreciate some assistance. -- System Information: Debian Release: 10.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled firmware-atheros depends on no packages. firmware-atheros recommends no packages.
