Hello. I have been using the .deb file for a few months on 15.04 and everything was working great.
I just updated to 15.10 Wily and unfortunately this broke wifi once again... I tried doing 'sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware/ath10k' and then pasting in the ath10k folder from the github repo you have pinned at the top of this page but that did not help. I tried deleting the /lib/firmware/ath10k/ folder completely and then running 'dmesg | grep ath10k' which returned something weird: $ dmesg | grep ath10k [ 2.743682] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 2.743956] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: pci irq msi-x interrupts 8 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 2.971047] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/cal-pci-0000:04:00.0.bin failed with error -2 [ 2.971379] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-pci-168c:003e:1a56:1525.bin failed with error -2 [ 2.971382] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: failed to load spec board file, falling back to generic: -2 [ 2.971634] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin failed with error -2 [ 2.971637] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: could not fetch firmware file 'ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin': -2 [ 3.052148] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: otp calibration failed: 3 [ 3.052151] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: failed to run otp: -22 [ 3.052152] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: could not init core (-22) [ 3.052165] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: could not probe fw (-22) Then, I tried uninstalling the .deb file and reinstalling it but I got the following: $ sudo dpkg --install /media/data/ath10k-dkms_1.1_all.deb Selecting previously unselected package ath10k-dkms.

I can see in dmesg that it's referring to files that do not exist in the ath10k folder. Thanks for your work so far Adam and I hope you can provide some help with the new Ubuntu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383184 Title: Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] is not supported Status in HWE Next: Triaged Status in HWE Next wily series: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: ========================================================= CURRENT STATUS: Wily(15.10) has already fixed the driver part, but Qualcomm hasn't upstreamed their firmware yet.
