We do these FW API increases (5 -> 6) for a reason, usually because the new firmware won't work with older version of ath10k. But if you want to run latest ath10k on older kernels I recommend to look at backports project: https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page > Q2) is it possible to use recent board files with an "older" firmware > file ? To my knowledge board files are not dependent on the firmware versions. So yes, you should be able to use newer board-2.bin with older firmware release. > Q3) how to know which firmware files to use for my specific device ? The firmware releases are not "device" specific (but of course it depends on what you mean with device in this context). But my recommendation is to always use the latest firmware which works with your kernel (WITHOUT any symlink hacks etc). -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
