Hi,

not sure why your firmware is crashing... You seem to have the exact same laptop as me (Lenovo 80K90001US, or at least everything seems to match so far).

You could try editing htc.c (drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k) and commenting out that error to see if it helps (or fails later) but this is just a guess really... If you open htc.c, and search for "Service connect timeout", you can try commenting out the next line (line 697) that says "return -ETIMEDOUT;" (that is basically the -110 you see that prevents the firmware to load).

You could compile and sudo make install it (but this is just a guess, hoping it might help out).

By the way, my kernel is:

Linux diego 4.1.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.3-1 (2015-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm not sure if maybe you have an older kernel or newer... It might be some other hardware interfering with it (maybe something I didn't care to configure) ?
