You have your firmware files bad. Please get them from: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0 And name them as: firmware-4.bin board-2.bin (they obviously need to be put in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/) Remove firmware-5.bin. There's a reason why firmware files have numbers. > [ 3943.964198] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: qca6174 hw3.2 (0x05030000, > 0x00340aff sub 1a56:1535) fw WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1 fwapi 4 > bdapi 1 htt-ver 3.26 wmi-op 4 htt-op 3 cal otp max-sta 32 raw 0 > hwcrypto 1 features wowlan,ignore-otp,no-4addr-pad > [ 3943.964201] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: debug 0 debugfs 1 tracing 1 > dfs 0 testmode 0 > [ 3946.966754] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: could not suspend target (-11) > [ 3947.043554] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x6c > [ 3947.043556] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map > [ 3947.043557] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 > [ 3947.043558] ath: Regpair used: 0x6c > [ 3947.045301] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0 wlp62s0: renamed from wlan0 > [ 3947.067781] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlp62s0: link is not ready > [ 3952.306968] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: failed to enable dynamic BW: -11 This is a problem with board file. You're using board.bin (bdapi 1) which will not work with hw3.2. You need to get the latest board-2.bin from Kalle's ath10k-firmware repository ( https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0 ). > ... > [ 4106.595895] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: failed to set tx-chainmask: -11, req > 0x3 > [ 4109.595922] ath10k_pci 0000:3e:00.0: failed to set arp ac override > parameter: -11 > ... > ``` > > # iwconfig wlp62s0 Don't use iwconfig, please. It's deprecated. Use `iw` tools instead. Michał _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
