[Bug 1383184] Re: Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] not supported

 

Hello,

Happy to read other people succeeded.
For me it's working fine, not fully stable yet but it works without problems regardless of the AP and encryption method used.
(currently writing from notebook using the killer card connected to WPA2 Enterprise net with TLS)

Active development of ath10k is done here : https://github.com/kvalo/ath so everyone who would like to get it working must use the updated sources from that git.
Either you follow the steps to compile the full ath kernel (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184/comments/115) or manually patch compile all the needed driver/modules for your current kernel if you know how.

[ 2996.915559] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware crashed! (uuid 3ad71d9a-8fd2-43b9-ae4c-c8ee9d7ed375)
is a clear indicator that you are still using unpatched driver.

Mainstream kernel from ubuntu hasn't been patched and I guess it will
take some more time, so that is the only way of getting qca6174 card
working for the moment.

You can use the firmware already assembled for linux from sumdog's git: https://github.com/sumdog/ath10k-firmware
If somebody still getting problems with that firmware, just get your driver from your manufacturer or directly from killernetworking.com then install it using wine or under windows and get the bins from %system32% folder.
There might be some differences in hardware so test with different board.bin until you get it working.

People with problems compiling kernel, i don't know what's your problem, read docs about compiling kernel, if you just need the ath kernel headers just do a:
$ sudo make headers_install

Good luck!

P.S: Please report problems here:
http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k they will help you
better.
