#50890 — Bug#800703: linux-image-amd64: ath10k not working with Atheros QCA6174 wireless network adapter

Package: linux-image-amd64
Version: 4.1+67
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

the ath10k module, included in the kernel since 3.11, does not work for the
respective wifi adapter on an Acer VN7-571G.
Kernel 3.16, 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 have been tested.
Following the discussion here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196519
the problem seems to affect only a specific release of the available Atheros
adapters (168c:003e)

dmesg gives following messages:

#50906 — Bug#800703: Aw: Re: Bug#800703: linux-image-amd64: ath10k not working with Atheros QCA6174 wireless network adapter

Sorry if I used "patch" in the wrong place. I solved the problem by following the instructions on the linked website, meaning:
Download the content of 
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/
and copy both files to
"/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/"

Install "libncurses5-dev gcc make git exuberant-ctags"
Download https://github.com/kvalo/ath/archive/master.zip
Extract the content, change to the created directory and run 
"cp /boot/config-(YOUR_KERNEL) .config"
which was "config-4.1.0-2-amd64" in my case.
Compile via "make" and "make modules_install install"
Create "/etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf" containing "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y"

However, following solution was posted in the arch forums, but I do not know how to verify if it works:

This kernel patch : https://github.com/atondwal/linux/commit/22f8a4083883eca3e8a3175315d67d2a04392466
This firmware : https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1

Hope this helps, and let me know about further instructions if necessary.

Andreas

That's a hack that will break support for other chips, but it provided
enough information for me to find the upstream fix in Linux 4.3-rc1:
https://git.kernel.org/linus/36582e5d4daeccf68a8a3cef9bc37b60fb7d45b9

I've queued that up for the next upload to unstable.

I've opened another bug for the firmware as that's packaged separately.

Any smoothly functioning technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo.
