Still unsupported as of 16.04 and yakkety for my hardware (Dell Latitude E7270).

The workaround involves replacing "/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin" with a version from Killer Networking's website, as per:

The required file is directly available at:

The machine is a Dell Latitude E7270. Here's the lspci output:
