Public bug reported:

The device works fine with Ubuntu 15.10 mainline kernel 4.2.0 and the
firmware provided in linux-firmware on 2,4 Ghz wifi networks or
unencrypted 5GHz networks.

But when i connect to a encrypted 5Ghz network.  The firmware provide in linux-firmware (WLAN.RM.1.1-00141) crashed like i think is described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1516384

So i installed the latest firmware release SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1
from ath10k-firmware (https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/)

In this version the firmware doesn't crash but goes into a loop. Like
you see in dmesg, the device associates with the AP, but from an unknown
reason it cannot connect.

At the moment i cannot provide you any details about the AP im testing
with, because im using my universities network, but if you really need
them i can test the device with an known AP in a week or so.


PS: I tested the problem with all mainline and upstream kernels(4.2.6, 4.3.0,4.4rc4) without any difference.
