[Bug 1232990] [NEW] firmware for ath10k missing

 

Public bug reported:

The latest linux-firmware in saucy is missing firmware for ath10k chips
even though the ath10k drivers exist in saucy. This is likely because
the ath10k firmware is not available in the upstream linux-firmware git
repository. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k points
one to https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k. Grabbing that firmware enables
an ath10k device to properly work. As ath10k devices are shipping and
the driver support already exists in saucy, ideally this firmware will
be pulled in before saucy exits development.

** Affects: linux-firmware (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Affects: firmware-nonfree (Debian)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
