Title:
  wireless card (Killer n1525) doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Killer 1525 wireless card doesn't work on Ubuntu Mate with stock drivers. It sometimes can detect networks, but cannot connect to WPA protected WIFI.
  "dmesg | grep ath" shows several thousand of lines "failed to start hw scan: -108". Problem can be fixed by following the steps outlined here:
  http://www.killernetworking.com/support/knowledge-base/17-linux/20-killer-wireless-ac-in-linux-ubuntu-debian

  Please include correct board.bin and firmware-?.bin files to Ubuntu
  Mate 16.04 distro.

  In my case wifi worked after I deleted board.bin and firmware-4.bin
  both  /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/ and
  /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ then copied
  firmware-5.bin_SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 as firmware-4.bin and
  firmware-4.bin. Finally, I saved resulting board.bin, firmware-4.bin
  and firmware-5.bin to both ..../2.1/ and ..../3.0/ folders
