All:

I have been unable to get my built in wifi to work, it is version 168c:0041, as mentioned in the bug thread.
I used the modinfo command and found that my Lenovo G50-45 running Debian kernel 4.1.0-1 is actually looking for other files in QCA988X, see the results below.

sudo modinfo ath10k_pci
