Version: 20190717-1
Followup-For: Bug #919652

Hi,

One Reddit post suggests that Surface Go can work with board.bin
supplied by Killer Networking for Killer 1535.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SurfaceLinux/comments/9t53gq/wifi_fixed_on_surface_go_ubuntu_1810/

The related KB from Killer Networking:

https://support.killernetworking.com/knowledge-base/installing-the-killer-wireless-ac-1535-in-steamos/

If we simply replace the firmware, could other devices using QCA6174
being affected?

Also, there's no indication whether the file is redistributable or not.
I think we can contact Killer Network to resolve their issue on the KB
article.

Thanks,
Yao Wei
