Hi,

just wanted to let you know that my instructions still worked for me using a new kernel (4.2).

As always, I used the firmware from:

https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1

To replace the one in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ (note the folder is 6174 and not 6164). I used the latest backports of November 20 (without patching any code this time).

I have Kernel 4.2.0-1-amd64 right now in Debian. I see some people also succeeded with Kernel 4.3 above but I don't want to download that kernel yet (I'm waiting for Debian to release it).

I'm hoping maybe the firmware will be added to the official packages at some point.

Hope it helps,
Diego
