[Bug 1484159] Re: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) not working on Ubuntu
All, this bug affects me, however I have a solution. (with help from the
team over at bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1436940) as it
looks like support is in 4.5 kernel.
Courtesy of Miles Krell:
1) Install kernel 4.5. There's a guide at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds.
2) Assuming you downloaded the firmware as explained in the above guide, you have to rename just one file like this:
cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/
sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin
3) Reboot your computer. Run "sudo lshw -C network" to see if the card
is recognized.
4) If it still isn't working, run "uname -r" to make sure you're running
kernel 4.5.
I'm a newbie and the above worked for me. I was pulling my hair out!
