** 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: As of February 26, 2016, this has become rather simple. - According to the Linux Wireless wiki, support was added in kernel 4.2, - so if your kernel is older than this, you'll need to either use - backports or install a newer kernel. Your kernel is probably fine, but - if it's older than 4.2, see + According to the Linux Wireless wiki, support was added in kernel 4.2 + Your kernel is probably fine, but if it's older than 4.2, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for info on installing a newer one. 1) Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k- firmware/archive/master.zip 2) Unzip this file, and copy the contents of ath10k-firmware-master to /lib/firmware/ath10k. 3) Rename two of the firmware files like so: cd /lib/firmware/QCA6174/hw2.1 sudo mv firmware-5.bin_SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 firmware-5.bin cd /lib/firmware/QCA6174/hw3.0 sudo mv firmware-4.bin_WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1 firmware-4.bin 4) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is recognized. If you created a "/lib/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf" file earlier to disable otp, you can remove it. I did, and the card still works fine. - Last updated Match 20, 2016 + Last updated Match 26, 2016
