[Dimitrios Matanis <dimitrios.matanis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello.

I have been using the .deb file for a few months on 15.04 and everything
was working great.

I just updated to 15.10 Wily and unfortunately this broke wifi once
again...

I tried doing 'sudo rm -rf /lib/firmware/ath10k' and then pasting in the
ath10k folder from the github repo you have pinned at the top of this
page but that did not help.

I tried deleting the /lib/firmware/ath10k/ folder completely and then
running 'dmesg | grep ath10k' which returned something weird:

$ dmesg | grep ath10k

[    3.052165] ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: could not probe fw (-22)


Then, I tried uninstalling the .deb file and reinstalling it but I got the following:

$ sudo dpkg --install /media/data/ath10k-dkms_1.1_all.deb 
Selecting previously unselected package ath10k-dkms.

And here is some more info

$ iwconfig

lo        no wireless extensions.


$ uname -a
Linux sovereign 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 8 15:35:06 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


It looks like something is wrong... I can see in dmesg that it's
referring to files that do not exist in the ath10k folder.

Thanks for your work so far Adam and I hope you can provide some help
with the new Ubuntu.

Bug description:
  =========================================================

  CURRENT STATUS:

  Wily(15.10) has already fixed the driver part, but Qualcomm hasn't
  upstreamed their firmware yet.

  You guys could use 15.10 + firmwares from https://github.com/kvalo
  /ath10k-firmware or https://github.com/sumdog/ath10k-firmware.

  That dkms deb package will be relocated soon.

  =========================================================

  Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)
  Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device [1a56:1525]

  This is on a fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation, with the ubuntu-desktop environment installed. This happened in order to get the md raid drivers for raid0 on my system, as the desktop version doesn't support them.
