Ubuntu Mate 15.10 and earlier versions didn't recognize Killer wireless
at all. Ubuntu Mate recognizes Killer wireless (as in can see the
networks). This is definitely progress. However, it still cannot connect
to WPA/WPA2 protected networks.

I would gladly test the newest kernel, but how can I do it? I have the newest Ubuntu Mate live DVD, have a cable connection to internet and I see the link to deb files. What should I do to test the kernel? Would be great if you can comment here:

Please consider elevating the importance to High. Live CD with Internet incapable distro is a pain on the neck for experienced users and an immediate dealer breaker for newcomers.

Cheers,

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

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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:

  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
