very simple.
Follow the instructions provided in the email you quoted, copied for your
convenience:

  For now, you guys could use 15.10(purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried
  installing it), and make a copy of

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174
into /lib/firmware/ath10k/

in the git link - two folders, copy them in a QCA6174 folder you'll create
first, as with a fresh install, it won't exist.
reboot and your system will have wifi.
revert if you experience any difficulties.
tks

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

  CURRENT STATUS:

  Wily(15.10) could not work with and don't need Adam's dkms package 1.0
  or 1.1

  Wily(15.10) has already fixed the driver part, and the firmware part
  is in progress.

  For now, you guys could use 15.10(purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried
  installing it), and make a copy of
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
  firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174 into /lib/firmware/ath10k/

  Distros before 15.10(lower than 4.2 kernel) please keep using the
  dkms(which 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.
