[Bug 1436940] Re: Atheros wifi 168c:0041(QCA6164) is not supported

 

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that my instructions still worked for me
using a new kernel (4.2).

As always, I used the firmware from:

https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-
firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1

To replace the one in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ (note the folder is
6174 and not 6164). I used the latest backports of November 20 (without
patching any code this time).

I have Kernel 4.2.0-1-amd64 right now in Debian. I see some people also
succeeded with Kernel 4.3 above but I don't want to download that kernel
yet (I'm waiting for Debian to release it).

I'm hoping maybe the firmware will be added to the official packages at
some point.

Hope it helps,
Diego
