Comment 61 for bug 1436940

I was able to get my Atheros wifi, version 0168c:0041 working as expected using the latest Linux Next Kernel Git;
https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git

And the procedure described on this Fedora bug report site, by Susi Lehtola
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1257500#c16

It simple involves using the firmware in the proper folder (QCA6174) mentioned by Diego in comment 39 and 40.
And the latest Kernel, which I compiled on my Debian Stretch distribution.

There are remaining issues such as speed and total functionality, but this is the first time I could get any such results and it seems this driver is reaching its final phase.
