I have a very similar issue here, with a new Lenovo IdeaPad I bought 3
weeks ago...
It is really annoying to use a usb wireless that cannot hold internet
conection for 5 minutes and then having to plug and unplug it again.
After 15 years using GNU/Linux and now thinking in going back to Windows
because of this unsolved issue
I have also tried to solve this issue with backports, Kvalo, Compiling a
new kernel, copying firmware to /lib/firmware/ath10k folders and so on
and nothing has worked.
When I compiled the driver, it claimed QCA9377, and I copied this folder
to /lib/firmware/ath10k. The firmware worked, but the board.bin did not
work and until now I did not solve the issue :(

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a laptop (Samsung) that has a Qualcomm Atheros
QCA6174 card. I have tried using the firmware from both kvalo's repo
and the official linux-firmware repo and neither of them have worked.
I am running a fresh Ubuntu 15.10 installation (Linux 4.2.0). I have
also tried installing Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 with the mainline kernel
build (Linux 4.4.0) and that didn't work either. The laptop I'm using
does have a button on the keyboard to enable/disable the wifi and I'm
not sure if it's causing an issue or not. I have checked rfkill list
and there is neither a hard nor soft block on the wlan. I'm not really
sure where to go from here, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks for your time,
