Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 30) works only partially

[mrl586]

It seems that working WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK support is still missing from ath10k driver, but unsecure connection (without any WEP/WPA) works very well with QCA9377.

This bug affects me to on Asus Eeebok running Lubuntu 16.10 with:

Turning off security (Open wifi) no problem connecting to router.

Important update.
This bug was in my case related to the router (D-Link DIR-655)
With a new router it works flawlessly.

[mrl586 (mrl586)]

It seems that only up-to-date router hardware and/or software are supported not any older router hardware or software.

Example: WPA2 connection to Android 5.1.1 wifi hotpoint works normally. But handshake with Android 4.2.2 device is always unsuccessful with QCA9377 chip.
