Bug Description
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:
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) Use a kernel that supports this card
Support for this card is not present in kernel 4.2. However, it was added at some point between then and kernel 4.4. If you're running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or above, your kernel is fine; skip to the next step. If you're running Ubuntu 15.10 or below, see https:/
2) Get the latest firmware from https:/
wget https:/
3) Unzip the downloaded file. Inside the ath10k-
unzip master.zip
sudo cp -r ath10k-
4) Run the following commands to rename the necessary firmware file:
cd /lib/firmware/
sudo mv firmware-
5) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is recognized. You can delete the files you downloaded earlier:
cd ~
rm master.zip
rm -r ath10k-
Please tell me if these instructions are working for you.
The original bug description follows.
