** Description changed: + This card remains unsupported out-of-the-box by the ath10k_pci kernel + module. At this point, it looks like kvalo's ath10k-firmware repo just + needs to be pulled in. + + --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK: + + Full disclosure: I don't actually have this card, but AndyP was able to + get this card to work by following my instructions, so I've written them + here in a clearer format. + + 1) Support for this card is not present in kernel 4.2. However, it was + added at some point between then and kernel 4.4.3. See + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for info on installing a + newer kernel. Kernel 4.5 is suggested. + + 2) Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k- + firmware/archive/master.zip + + 3) Unzip this file, and copy the contents of ath10k-firmware-master to + /lib/firmware/ath10k. + + 4) Run the following commands to rename the necessary firmware file: + cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/ + sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin + + 5) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is + recognized. + + Please tell me if these instructions are working for you. + + The original bug description follows. + --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Hi, Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) is not supported by linux kernal.
