Bug Description
=======
CURRENT STATUS:
Wily(15.10) could not work with and don't need Adam's dkms package 1.0 or 1.1
Wily(15.10) has already fixed the driver part, and the firmware part is in progress.
For now, you guys could use 15.10(purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried installing it), and make a copy of https:/
15.10 will work in a week by a simple `apt upgrade`
Distros before 15.10(lower than 4.2 kernel) please keep using the dkms(which will be relocated soon)

Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device [1a56:1525]
This is on a fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation, with the ubuntu-desktop environment installed. This happened in order to get the md raid drivers for raid0 on my system, as the desktop version doesn't support them.

Hello.
I installed the latest x64 upstream kernel as well as the headers for it from the link you provided.
I got to the login screen, and after I entered my password it just hanged there and I never got to the desktop.
I tried one more time, and this time I did not enter my password. I used the top bar to connect to the internet in the login screen but wifi was still not recognized.
Hence, I just added the tag kernel-
P.S.: I just noticed that during the booting time I get a message saying that Bluetooth is not available either. I guess that doesn't have a proper driver either. Not sure if it's the same device or not.
Cheers.

Dimitrios Matanis (dimitrios-matanis) wrote : | #18 |
Would that be any different for you? Meaning we have the same card and same OS?
Pelle Johnsen (pelle-johnsen) wrote : | #19 |
Ok I managed to try the 3.18-rc1 kernel. The nvidia-343 driver fails to build for this, so that's probably why you couldn't log in. Testing in a virtual console, no wireless interface was up.
I also tried modprobe athk10k_pci (I think this card is some atheros variant). It loaded fine, but still no wlan interface showed up. So as far as I can tell that kernel doesn't support the chipset :S

This card (N1525) is also used in MSI GS60 laptops. But knowing that the killer E2200 didn't make it into the kernel until 2013, I think it can take a long time to get the N1525 working under Linux.
Meanwhile, you could buy an Intel card or another Atheros card which already works under Linux. At least you know that your laptop antennas are prepared for working under 5 Ghz band, if you need.
It's something cheap, $50 at most.
Dimitrios Matanis (dimitrios-matanis) wrote : | #24 |
It's a really good piece of hardware and it is, in my opinion, a shame to replace it with something inferior. It works great on Windows and as I'm using it there I'm willing to stay ethernet-only on linux until it gets supported.
I can't imagine its technology being majorly different than its predecessors, so hopefully it will not take years!

Hmmm how can your bluetooth be OK, Zemistr? Are you sure you have the same card? Have you manually installed some bluetooth driver?

Bluetooth pretend like it is OK, but nothing found.

Dimitrios Matanis (dimitrios-matanis) wrote : | #29 |
You can look at the manufacturer's specs for an exact model of the wifi card. If that's the driver you installed for windows then maybe you DO have the same one, or at least a really similar variant!
For me the bluetooth icon in ubuntu (tray) does not even show up.

FYI, I have a dualboot Ubuntu and Win 8.1 setup where I also use VMware under Win to boot Ubuntu directly from it's partition. Under VMWare Ubuntu uses the virtualization drivers for WiFi and that works perfectly.
So, I have a choice of booting Ubuntu directly when a LAN connection is available, or booting through VMWare if I need to use WiFi.

I'm really new to linux and don't have that much background on the update procedures, but I just opened my Acer Aspire VN7 571g to see how easy or hard it will be to replace the Qualcomm Atheros Killer Wireless-AC 1525 / WI1 chip1: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 and I searched another time for the QCA6174-5 and found this page. Apparently the devs are already working on supporting this model - well, there is a patch for it (ath10k) in the works.

Also affects Alienware M15 (early 2015). From the looks of it, all Alienware laptops from last refresh use this chip with no option of changing to the better supported Intel.
No wonder Dell didn't include Linux as an OS option. So yeah, fairly big family of laptops broken. Maybe ill try and source an intel wireless to change this.

I am currently having the same issue with my MYTHLOGIC Dia 1614 Chassis (Clevo P650Sx) machine.
Turns out the option I chose for a wireless card was the 'KILLER Wireless-AC 1525 2*2 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + BT 4.0 350/867MB Total Bandwidth' as stated on the site.
When typing command 'lspci -v' into terminal I get this for my wired and wireless connection cards:

It seems I am not the only one having issues with this wireless card. Qualcomm Atheros Device 003e (rev 20)
I currently have a dual boot setup with Windows 8.1 and Linux Mint 7.1 Cinnamon Rebecca edition which is based off Ubuntu (Debian) anyway so I guess we are all in the same boat.
Is there a work-around yet?? because at this point I am getting extremely frustrated since I need to use Linux on the go immediately and will donate as-well to get this working ASAP.
I am having buyers remorse since my machine is only a week old and that I should have chose a different option for Wireless cards like the 'Intel Centrino Advanced-AC 7265 2*2 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n + BT 4.0 350/867MB Total Bandwidth'

Hello everyone.
Just a solution I have stumbled upon (even though I haven't had the time to try it myself yet):
There is a way to use VirtualBox on Windows and have it boot directly your real Linux partition instead of a virtual one. There are guides on how to do that online and it should be easy to find on Google.
I am under the impression that VirtualBox uses it's own drivers on the guest OS so there is a good chance wifi would work that way on linux.
If anyone finds the time to try something like that, please let us know what happened!
Andy Brennenstuhl (e-web) wrote : | #60 |
@Dimitris, I can confirm that you can boot Ubuntu and Mint directly from a partition used for dual-booting in VMware. This fixes the driver problem as VMware uses it's own virtualised network drivers.
Also, if I may offer a piece of advice to people regretting purchasing laptops with this card, or thinking about returns: Buy a USB WiFi dongle for a few bucks as a temporary fix while you wait for the drivers. You can buy a cheap low powered one, or even invest in high gain card with an antenna connector.

@S.M. Al Mahi (syed-al-mahi) I as well bought a wifi dongle and it disconnects from the internet all the time. I even think it did something to my Killer wireless in my Windows OS, because when I logged into Windows it couldn't even find the Killer card. I think this is a cheap fix for any high end WiFi card.
Is there any news yet?

So eth10k might be implemented next kernel, doesn't mean our killer card will work. Hopefully its just something I've done wrong!

on further research, im probably using the wrong board.bin, the only one ive been able to find is from the hw3.0 directory. If anyone knows where hw2.1 is I'll gladly give that a spin.

Its not the Kernel but the firmware :-( there is no firmware 2.1 existing for Linux yet :-(
Someone will have to write it or do some magic with a windows firmware...

I checked it. The new ath10k is definitely merged into the v4.0-rc1. Why do you need the firnware 2.1? Did you tried hw 3.0 from here: https:/

If I look at the comments for the commit in github, it seems that this version is not very usefull at this point in time:
"The QCA6174 in combination with new wmi-tlv firmware is capable of
multi-channel, beamforming, tdls and other features.
This patch just makes it possible to boot these devices and do some basic stuff
like connect to an AP without encryption. Some things may not work or may be
unreliable. New features will be implemented later. This will be addressed
eventually with future patches."

@Kaare Baastrup: What did the devs say?
Kaare Baastrup (kaare-baastrup) wrote : | #82 |
@Slipie that someone needed to make a firmware for rev(20) = hw2.1 or get the blob from the windows firmware.
Roman (romanbn) wrote : | #83 |
In the thread Michal Kazior explains how to construct the hw2.1 from the Windows Firmware. Maybe some clever ones want to try on your own:

I see this bug has been going for ~5 months now. Has any progress been made?
If not, can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere to read up on how to fix it? I've never written a driver before, but I can program, I'm not a complete idiot, and I have a lot of incentive...
Sorry for what is, in some ways, a spam-post...

For me it seems that you mentioned link is for only some Qualcomm Ethernet cards?
"Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 and QCA8171 Gigabit Ethernet controllers, and the AR8162 and QCA8172 Fast Ethernet controllers."
And this bug report is about the wireless card 'Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e]'. But if the driver works for this card, please let us know, maybe we can port it to Ubuntu or so...

laaag (lagged) wrote : | #115 |
I got it working as described in this thread: http://
Using xubuntu (14.10 upgraded to 15.04) Anyway distro shouldn't be much different. Basically to make it working you need to do (what i did):
1. Get the windows drivers from your notebook manufacturer, in my case MSI GS60. http://
2. Get the needed phyton scripts to extract windows firmware:
dissect.py https:/
assemble.py https:/
3. Get kvalo's kernel tree from https:/
4. Unpack Killer suite and run the following commands: (run commands as root , sudo / sudo su)
python dissect.py < drivers/
mkdir /lib/firmware/
python assemble.py killer-n1525-fw 0 fw-2.bin fw-1.bin 4 > /lib/firmware/
cp drivers/
5. Unpack kvalo's kernel and compile it with:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev gcc make git exuberant-ctags
To simplify things copy your current kernel config to ath-master root folder:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r`* .config
you can configure if you want with: (not needed)
make menuconfig
then compile with: (where X is the number of cores of you processor, i used 6)
make -jX
# then take a coffee or even better a cold beer, anyway it just took about 20 minutes for me.
6. Install the new kernel:
sudo make modules_install install
7. Create config file with:
nano /etc/modprobe.
Write to it:
options ath10k_core skip_otp=y
8. Reboot using your new kernel 4.x.x-wl-ath
9. Run ifconfig
10. Voila wlan0 should be there waiting for you, now try to connect to you AP.
If its not working try to check if you missed something, check log file (/var/log/dmesg) for more details of what failed.
Give thanks to the guys who made this possible for me: http://

The compiling of a new Kernel will probably take hours on my i5-5200U so i tried it with the 4.1 rc-1 which should include nearly the newest ath10k sources (merge date 2015-04-27). Sadly Acer doesn't deliver a nice structured Wifi driver than MSI does. There are no .bin or .inf files so i tried building the new firmware with your driver too.
Sadly nothing of these actions changes anything.

Per David L in #118, I believe this bug is only for the Wi-Fi (ath10k) driver/firmware. At least on my laptop, the Wi-fi/Bluetooth isn't combined (on my MSI, it uses the ath3k bluetooth; same firmware issue we have with the Wi-fi; do a search and you'll see similar mailing list threads -- actually they may be combined; who knows they might be on the same chip -- but anyway they have two different drivers/firmware).
I don't know what the licensing issues are with firmware. Can I fork kvalo's ath-firmware repo on github and commit the ones created using the above Python scripts? If so I'll try and do that tomorrow.
Some other notes: I only got this working as a kernel module; built-in didn't work (wasn't sure how to pass in skip_otp=y via kernel args... tried ath10k_

Good that the results are positive! But when will this reach the mainstream kernel?
not to push, just need to know to deside if i should run this kernel..

indeed - and i tried to follow the instructions and compile the kernel as
indicated, but ended up being told lots of files missing (mostly header
files). of course, i tried to download the linux headers and other stuff i
thought was relevant, but that didn't really help. :-( sorry for being
obviously not as intelligent as others on this list - and i don't mean to
waste your time, to the contrary, i appreciate all the help provided thus
far.

Hello,
Happy to read other people succeeded.
For me it's working fine, not fully stable yet but it works without problems regardless of the AP and encryption method used.
(currently writing from notebook using the killer card connected to WPA2 Enterprise net with TLS)
Active development of ath10k is done here : https:/
Either you follow the steps to compile the full ath kernel (https:/

is a clear indicator that you are still using unpatched driver.
Mainstream kernel from ubuntu hasn't been patched and I guess it will take some more time, so that is the only way of getting qca6174 card working for the moment.
You can use the firmware already assembled for linux from sumdog's git: https:/
If somebody still getting problems with that firmware, just get your driver from your manufacturer or directly from killernetworkin
There might be some differences in hardware so test with different board.bin until you get it working.
People with problems compiling kernel, i don't know what's your problem, read docs about compiling kernel, if you just need the ath kernel headers just do a:
$ sudo make headers_install
Good luck!
P.S: Please report problems here: http://

This might sound kinda weird and I'm not sure if it's the right place to post it but here it goes.
I have an MSI GS60 2QD and after using the workaround posted in #115 wifi started working perfectly. So awesome that and thanks :D.
Now the weird part... I have two Nexus 5 phones at home and whenever my laptop is running Linux and the newly enabled wifi is on both phones lose connectivity. I checked if there were any conflicting IP assigned but no and it only happens in Linux with these new drivers. This behavior doesn't appear when the computer has booted into Windows and is connected and it didn't appear when I was using a USB-WiFi dongle with my Linux install.
Basically it's like this:
Laptop running Windows using the official Killer drivers - Everything works great.
Laptop running Linux using the custom kernel/workaround with the drivers - WiFi on - Phones are unable to connect to the same WiFi AP. If I turn WiFi off on the laptop the phones immediately connect back.
Has anyone else noticed anything like this with their phones or other WiFi connected devices?.

@ avallete
You can get the patch here : https:/
I also added it to this post.
Sadly you can just patch the source code so (1) you have to get the ath-master
and (2) patch it with the patch command:
patch < /PATH/TO/
then you have to enter the path to the mac.c file in your fresh ath-master. Inside the Kernel its located
/drivers/
(3) you have to go on with compiling your new kernel like described from laaag.
I didnt test it yet, so i cannot say if it really fixes this issue.

I'm running kernel 4.0.0-wl-ath without major issue, almost fully stable for me.
However i tested 4.1.0-rc2-wl-ath or rc3, i don't remember exactly and noticed the disconnection issue on devices near my laptop radius regardless of which AP was connected, even applying the promisc patch.
Now there is version rc5, if someone test please report if it's working better, anyway i will wait for stable release of 4.1
@Xin, after you unpack ath-master.zip change directory where you unpacked it.
for example:
cd /home/your_
and better than doing a copy of the current kernel config (cp /boot/config-`uname -r`* .config)
skip that command and do this instead:
make localmodconfig
it will make .config file according to your actual running modules/drivers and avoid compilation of unused ones.
It's also good if you guys enable ath10k debug mode to help developers better identify the problems.

I also dont exactly get the idea of step 3. Get kvalo's kernel tree.
What does that suppose to mean? Sorry for asking some obvious questions. :P

Works perfectly on my MSI GS70. This are the steps that I followed:
1. Download
and put it in the /lib/firmware/
2. Download
and put it in the /lib/firmware/
3. Install dependencies to be able to compile the kernel with:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev gcc make git exuberant-ctags
4. Download kvalo's kernel tree from:
https:/
and extract it to a folder (no need to apply any patch, it's been merged already).
5. Navigate to the extracted folder and run the following commands:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r`* .config
make -jX (where X is the number of processor cores, in my case 8)
(wait a while for it to compile, and after run)
sudo make modules_install install
6. Create config file with:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.
and put the following contents into the file:
options ath10k_core skip_otp=y
7. Reboot using your new kernel 4.x.x-wl-ath
8. Run ifconfig
Works perfectly without any drops. Would be nice that people who succeed comment on the following PR:

so we can get this merged to mainstream kernel.

Hello everyone,
I followed the steps in #150, and after entering the "make -jX" command, I get asked a lot of things I don't understand, it's the first time I am compiling a kernel.
Is this how it should be? I just pressed enter on everything, since I guess this sets up the default values...?
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on an Acer Aspire VN7-571G (dual-boot with Windows 8.1).
I entered "make -j4", I have the Intel Core i7-5500U 2.4 which has 2 cores but is able to "behave like it had 4 cores". Should I've been entering "make -j2" instead?

Hey, I figured out my problem. Turns out that some of the header files and code were broken (had a padlock on the icon) or were missing altogether. I made new copies of the file with the same code and formatting. After that, there were no problems running the command: make -jX
@Jane Doe, Isaiah:
I found this thread that may address your concern. I originally had to answer the questions as well. But I ran the command
make olddefconfig
before running
make -jX.

@Jane Doe: I faced same problem with touchpad, but I suspect that the problem is newest
kernel version. It doesn't work with Debian Testing (kernel 3.16) but works with Debian Stable
and Ubuntu 14 ( kernel ~ 3.2). And it still works on Windows for me.
In #137 Mahi mentioned that he some how solved this problems, but no information on how
he did that.

yaah, the touchpad not working on Windows was kind of my bad... It was simply disabled and I could enable it with the function-keys on my keyboard lol. Didn't have that key on my old laptop so I didn't even know it existed until I did some further research.
But it's still not working with Ubuntu, unfortunately.

Rob (fynesr) wrote : | #164 |
@jeric I had the same problem. Those broken files (you'll prob come across more than one) are symlinks but the targets are non-existent. The targets are actually the content of what the files should be.
Use nautilus or whatever file explorer your using, go to the broken file directory, and try to open it.
A dialog will appear saying something like:
The file "[actual file contents]" doesn't exist.
...asking if you want to move the file to trash. Copy everything between the double quotes and put it into a new file in that same directory. The new file should have the same name as the broken file, so give it a temporary name, save it, delete the broken file and rename the temp file to what it should be (or just delete the broken file before you create the fixed file).
You can do it from the command line too if you want e.g. ls -lh /path/to/
I had to do this for 3 files before the make command would kick off properly.

Incidentally, you should probably find and fix all those broken symlinks first to save yourself from having to keep stopping and starting the make command everytime it chokes on one of them. Run something like:
find . -type l -! -exec test -e {} \; -print
...and then go fix them.
Rob (fynesr) wrote : | #166 |
I'm hitting the following error during the make -jX command:

It's not a broken symlink, that file just doesn't exist. Can anyone help?

I've downloaded the most current stable linux kernel (4.0.5) and also the most recent longterm build (3.18.14).
Neither of these have the file net/nfc/nci.h
make -jX is failing for me because that file is missing:
net/nfc/
Is that file autogenerated during make, and if it is, why isn't it being generated for me?
And why is it that others have (or don't need) this file?

Just FYI, I seem to get much better performance over 5ghz compared to 2.4ghz with this card. Not sure if it's the routers I have tested (A couple of DLinks and Netgear), but I can max out my net with the 5ghz (speedtest.net reports 104mbit).

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.

I forgot: That was on a Samsung ATIV NP940X3K-K02US which has the Qualcomm atheros QCA6174 / NFA354 card. I have tried most of the other solutions here too, so maybe there was something that came from one of those that's causing the issue? (that's how I ended up with a 4.1.1 kernel)

Actually I saw a few of you said you upgraded your kernel to 3.19.
Adam, should I do that or you'd rather have it working on any kernel in the range you provided? I don't mind upgrading if that's what's needed.

someone may find it still doesn't work unfortunately, this situation will get better after mainline 4.3 rc1 got released.

Eureka! It works! If you're still having issues and had tried adding the firmware yourself before, I had to remove it:
1. sudo apt-get -y purge ath10k-dkms
2. rm -rf /lib/firmware/
3. sudo dpkg --install ath10k-
4. {restart}
5. {rejoice}
Also of note, I removed my USB wifi adapter before the above steps. I don't know if that had any bearing on it, but just in case I though I'd mention it.

I'm not getting quite as good speeds with this as I can with the same card on Windows right now. With the Internet I'm at, I'm getting anywhere from about 30-60mbps up and down with this deb, and I get about 150mbps up and down consistently in Windows. To me, that's perfectly workable, but I thought I'd update it here in case it really matters to anyone else.

Thanks for your answer Josh. Actually I have no issue with my internet s[eed, I can get 95mb/s on a connection of 100mb/s meaning 10/12 Mb/s
My problem is on internal network transfers, tried NFS, SMB/CIFS and FTP but cannot achieve over 1.2 Mb/s while on windows I can hit easily 35/40 Mb/s
Not quite sure the issue is on the wireless card, still investigating on network settings overall.

Thanks for the help. I had kernel 3.16 and followed #258. Unfortunately that did not work. This resulted in the same issues I already stated in #236 for the 1.0 version.
However, now I fixed it by upgrading my kernel. You can do a save update via:
1) sudo apt-get install linux-generic-
2) reboot
Now you are on kernel 3.19. (you can check it via uname -a). Since I already followed before #258 my wlan was working directly without any new installation of the patch. Someone who did not install anything before probably still needs to install #244 (or follow #258).

PACKET INJECTION:
I have read something online about raw tx and it looks like that hardware crypto-engine on the card does encrypt the packets that you are trying to inject so it doesn't work. I have tried to create unsecured wireless network and connect to it - this disabled the crypto engine and allowed me to successfully attack my other WPS enabled network with reaver. After disconnecting from the unsecured network it stopped working, so it is not possible to change channel without changing the unsecured network's channel.
I am using Kvalo's kernel 4.2 and Killer 1525 in my alienware 13 - Does anyone know a better workaround to disable crypto engine? I have tried custom firmware from candela, didn't work.

Anyone has an idea what compenent in kernel 3.19 (actually 3.18 works as well) makes it work vs 3.17? I'm at a point of thinking going back to Windows. That tells you how discouraged I am :)
Like I mentionned before I cannot use 3.19 or 3.18 because they introduced a bug that makes my system very unstable. I don't know why but with kernel 3.17 I've never had this issue.
The other solution is to start playing with different kernel until I find one that both works with the wireless and doesn't have the stability issue. Does anyone can recomend what kind of kernel I should try?

Curiously, my wireless has been working great with the above ath10 deb package, however on recent reboots my wireless seems dead :-/.
I can confirm that it works in Windows 10 and hardware switch is on, yet on Linux boot, it doesn't try and load the modules. When I do it manually, _nothing_ happens. I'm tailing all the logs, checking dmesg.
Usually, when you load the module, the logs show the firmware trying to be loaded. In this case silence. If you hit the hardware switch then I only see something about the bluetooth part of it trying something;

@mike Its quite easy. You just have to replace the ath10k folder in /lib/firmware/
You can do this by replacing with in your file manager with root permissions. ( e.g. in Ubuntu you can do this by typing "sudo nautilus") or you use "cp".
The command should be the following:
sudo cp -r Downloads/
where Downloads/ath10k... is the location i extracted the zip of course.
After you succeeded with it, you just have to reboot.
I recommend to remove the patch provided here because i don't really know what it does and the changes may collide.

Oh yeah, starting to look good. I'll test this myself once I'm home, just wanted to make sure it was out there so someone with more time on their hands can give it a go now (although that deb package really does work wonderfully, so not as important as it once was - unless you hate DKMS).

The short for the Killer N1525 is QCA6174 hw2.1 which is NOT part of the official linux-firmware.
But to enable the device without the patch provided by Adam in this thread, you can get the firmware from the ath10k development repository: https:/
I described a way to install the firmware easy in comment #290.
For me the combination of Kernel 4.2 and the firmware from the ath10k repository made the patch obsolete.

7. Create config file with:

Write to it:

Just doing that will make it work.

I'v reinstalled the package, but it's still the same. Should I try building the kernel with kvalo (again, originally my first few build attempts failed, before I tried the 1.1 deb) or would updating to a different kernel with the 1.1 deb package have better results?

Hello.
I am here to first of all thanks Adam once again for his fast response and secondly to confirm that, after Adam's suggestion on the new status, my wifi is now working on Wily 15.10.
All I did was copy the files from the link manually into /lib/firmware/
Here is an output of dmesg with a few errors on it, even though wifi looks like it's working:

If the wifi isnt working with what you have there right now, yes. Replace them with the files Adam suggested. It worked for me.

Hey,
I'm running 14.04 on an MSI GS60

to a newer version of Ubuntu because I need 14.04 for work. I tried
installing 4.3 kernel on it and the machine is less stable (sometimes it
freezes at bootup - soft lockup-CPU stuck).
Will Adam's fix work in 14.04 with one of the following kernels -->
3.19.0-25-generic or 3.19.0-31-generic?

Upgraded to 15.04, removed dkms as noted (worked fine in 15.04), and copied the files as noted in the description (historic: For now, you guys could use 15.10(purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried installing it), and make a copy of https:/

chevrier (tc-s) wrote : | #315 |
I am totally puzzled. I followed religiously the instructions provided, and yes, it "works", and i can "connect" under 15.10. when i look at "connection information", the details are exactly identical to what i get when i connect under 15.04 (same ISP, same driver, same speed, same ipv4 and ipv6 - all identical)
Yet, under 15.10, no web pages open in any browser - just dies. can't go to google, yahoo, or anything, even though everything looks exactly the same as under 15.04. The only differences i noted were the following lines in dmesg.
Under 15.04:
qca6174 hw2.1 (0x05010000, 0x003405ff, 168c:003e:1a56:1525 fallback) fw rome-hw2.
debug 1 debugfs 1 tracing 0 dfs 0 testmode 0
Under 15.10:
qca6174 hw2.1 (0x05010000, 0x003405ff, 168c:003e:1a56:1525 fallback) fw WLAN.RM.1.1-00141 api 5 htt 3.1 wmi 4 cal otp max_sta 32
debug 0 debugfs 1 tracing 1 dfs 0 testmode 0
everything else seems identical.
anyone patient enough to kindly let me know what i could have possibly stuffed??
:-(
Many thanks,

Hello chevrier.
Sorry to hear about your problem.
Even though I'm sure this isn't the answer you are looking for, could you please make sure this is not a router problem?
I mean, do you have access to the internet over the same wifi connection on another device?
Kind of sounds like you've actually got connected to your modem/router but you do not have outside world access.
I am sorry if this doesn't help and the issue persists. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will be able to help you further.
Frank Zafka (kafkaesque1978) wrote : | #317 |
Just my 2 cents. I'm running arch, but still I seem to have the same issue as Thomas (chevrier). In the last day or two it's gone from slow but stable (6mb/s on 5ghz) to downright ridiculous. It is connected to the router, but drops connections left right and centre. Seems to work better on 2.4ghz but then I'm getting a report 1mb/s. On windows i'm getting nearer 300. This isn't a router issue, it's a wifi card issue. Sounds like me and Thomas are experiencing the same thing.
chevrier (tc-s) wrote : | #318 |
Thanks much Dimitrios, really appreciate you took the time to answer, even though you are spot on - not the answer i am looking for :-) - been following your posts too. thanks god, i wasn't that stupid! ;-p
same laptop, same config, same everything.
As i explained in an earlier post, Adam's dkms package worked perfect for me with ALL ubuntus (i have quadruple boot, win 10, 14.04 LTS, 15.04 and 15.10 beta final). I had kernel 3.19 installed and booted. see my post #300.
Definitely stupidity, but by mistake, i issued sudo apt-get autoremove and lost the magic 3.19 kernel under ubuntu 15.10. Reinstalling "manually" 3.19 (i.e. not via synaptic) has not helped. :-s and it's after that that i have been wifi deprived - weird.
Therefore, I am trying to get 4.2 to work again, initially without success, but finally seems to work. My output is the same as the one people who have it working!, including you Dimitrios!! :-ss
Everything is also identical to what i get here under 15.04, except that i am not accessing anything on the www! :-( i can use any browser to go to yahoo or google and it just dies after a long wait.
I had read Frank's comment obviously, and everyone else's, and i have access to multiple ISPs, but none work, whatever their speed (5Ghz, etc...)
Really baffled by what is happening... could it be related to the duplication of places where to get the firmware files?? i used the location provided by the last guy above to say it worked for him.... maybe i am not using the correct files? that's the only thing that should be different, since i copied the file as instructed whereas for 15.04, which i am using to type this, i am using Adam's dkms.
chevrier (tc-s) wrote : | #319 |
Still looking into this...
I see that when I use Adam's dkms, dmsg gives
qca6174 hw2.1 (0x05010000, 0x003405ff, 168c:003e:1a56:1525 fallback) fw killer-n1525-fw api 4 htt 3.0 wmi 4 cal otp max_sta 32
whereas just copying the files, i get like everyone else...
qca6174 hw2.1 (0x05010000, 0x003405ff, 168c:003e:1a56:1525 fallback) fw WLAN.RM.1.1-00141 api 5 htt 3.1 wmi 4 cal otp max_sta 32
(or sometimes, the other driver)
could that be the issue? somehow using adam's package my card gets properly identified as killer-n1525, while it's not when i just use those recommended files?
maybe i am just talking rubbish here - apologies if so.
I obviously don't really know.

Hello everyone !
Unfortunately for me, the solution of the deb package did not work... My network card is still not recognized ...
Someone has an idea ? Maybe there is a link with the fact I tried several drivers, like backports, ath10k, and ath9k ?
Someone know what I would need to do in order to the deb package to work like everyone else ? I really need a solution for this, as this computer is used to make simulation on a cluster, and I need to be connected to the server !
btw, I have Linux 14.04 LTS
Manu thanks for your help!!!!

Max - can you provide some details at which exact steps you took, what kernel you use, what you tried etc?
Adam's solution is definitely working.
As a matter of fact, I just tried a fresh 15.10 install and it's working fine. Just followed steps and is all fine.
I just don't understand why my other 15.10 install just won't work. I did remove the dmsg-ath10k package. really confused.

chevrier (tc-s) wrote : | #323 |
very simple.
Follow the instructions provided in the email you quoted, copied for your
convenience:
For now, you guys could use 15.10(purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried
installing it), and make a copy of
https:/
into /lib/firmware/
in the git link - two folders, copy them in a QCA6174 folder you'll create
first, as with a fresh install, it won't exist.
reboot and your system will have wifi.
revert if you experience any difficulties.

I didn't used the new purposed firmware-package because i installed the firmware manually from the ath10k-firmware repository before. If testing this one is not valid ignore this post:

Hey!
Nice work, Killer Wireless-AC 1525 is working great with solution #209 and installation of dkms before.
However, all my wireless usb adapters do not work anymore... I can see them with lsusb but they are not present in iwconfig or ifconfig. Seems like all other wifi drivers are failing. Any solution to get them back?
sudo modprobe rtl8187 does not work to load the module:
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rtl8187': Invalid argument
Thanks for your help!

Thank you f0cks for pointing that out. This doesn't really work for me... I never had the dkms installed... would that make a difference? Or would I have to also make all steps of post 209 maybe?
osterchrisi (osterchrisi) wrote : | #342 |
Okay, I figured it out now. After unpacking, configuring, making and installing and then copying the ath10k firmware as in the link that you gave me in #340, I figured through "dmesg | grep ath10k" that the system couldn't find the firmware. It was both in the wrong folder and it had a weird name:
So instead of the file
firmware-5.bin being at
/lib/firmware/
I had a file named
firmware-
/lib/firmware/
I copied the whole content of the "ath10k-firmware" folder one level up and renamed the file to firmware-5.bin and now it works!! Also the LAN module still works ;)

Hello,
the above fix, copying files into the correct location worked until this upgrade came through:
upgrade network-
now it seems ath10k is not loading.
if I do a manual sudo modprobe force ath10k_pci
it lists in lsmod, but networkmanager seems to not care. maybe this is a network manager problem, not for this post?

I have a netgear X4 R7500 802.1 g/n/ac router with two access points (one ac and one n)
network-manager can SEE all the wifi AP (both n and ac) BUT can only connect to the n. When I try to connect to ac, it asks me for password, then after some time request the password again. At this moment I can't connect to any AP unless I enter sudo network-manager restart .
Basically I am stuck with 802.11n now.I also bought other WIFI USB dongles with 802.11ac but none were working correctly.
