[Bug 1484159] Re: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) not working on Ubuntu
** Description changed:
+ This card remains unsupported out-of-the-box by the ath10k_pci kernel
+ module. At this point, it looks like kvalo's ath10k-firmware repo just
+ needs to be pulled in.
+
+ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK:
+
+ Full disclosure: I don't actually have this card, but AndyP was able to
+ get this card to work by following my instructions, so I've written them
+ here in a clearer format.
+
+ 1) Support for this card is not present in kernel 4.2. However, it was
+ added at some point between then and kernel 4.4.3. See
+ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for info on installing a
+ newer kernel. Kernel 4.5 is suggested.
+
+ 2) Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
+ firmware/archive/master.zip
+
+ 3) Unzip this file, and copy the contents of ath10k-firmware-master to
+ /lib/firmware/ath10k.
+
+ 4) Run the following commands to rename the necessary firmware file:
+ cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/
+ sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin
+
+ 5) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is
+ recognized.
+
+ Please tell me if these instructions are working for you.
+
+ The original bug description follows.
