** Description changed: This card remains unsupported out-of-the-box by the ath10k_pci kernel module. Currently in https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/, there exists a folder for the QCA6174, but not for the QCA6164. It appears that this card uses the same "firmware-5.bin" file as the QCA6174 [168c:003c], but it requires a different "board.bin" file. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK: I'm not certain, but I believe you need to using at least kernel version 4.2 for this to work. - Then, as written by Diego in comment #34: + Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k- + firmware/archive/master.zip - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Then, get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/archive/master.zip - Unzip and copy ath10k folder to /lib/firmware/ath10k - Copy these two files (overwrite what you got before) in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1: + Unzip and copy the ath10k folder to /lib/firmware/ath10k. + + Download the two files at: https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1 + + Put these files in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1. Note that the + numbers DO NOT MATCH (QCA6164 vs QCA6174). Create a file named /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf with the following line: "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" Reboot and modprobe ath10k_pci. Do "lshw -C network"; "ip link show" or "rfkill list" to see if you got your card working. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The atheros wireless device (168c:0041) isn't supported by the ath10k_pci kernel driver.
