(Get the code!)
So I've copied deviskec post and fixed the recent breakage due to the merge of ominous 'ath-next' branche which broke ath10k.
1. Download the firmware binaries
https:/
https:/
and put them in the /lib/firmware/
Commands:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/
sudo wget https:/
sudo wget https:/
2. Install dependencies to be able to compile the kernel with:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev gcc make git exuberant-ctags
3. Download kvalo's kernel tree from:
https:/
NB: I could find a link to the correct, RC7 zip. Perhaps it's already fixed in the master branch, otherwise use my uploaded mega link
and extract it to a folder (no need to apply any patch, it's been merged already).
NB: I couldn't get this to work with the command line unzip, so use the gui extraction tool.
5. Navigate to the extracted folder and run the following commands:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r`* .config
make olddefconfig
make -j`cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -c processor`
(this automatically uses the best amount of jobs for your CPU)
(wait a while for it to compile, and after run)
sudo make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install install
(stripping symbols makes the initrd the regular ~30MB instead of 238MB)
6. Create config file with:
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.
7. Reboot using your new kernel 4.x.x-wl-ath
(will be automatically selected)
8. Run ifconfig
Works perfectly without any drops. Would be nice that people who succeed comment on the following PR:
https:/
so we can get this merged to mainstream kernel.
