In the mean time, I tried to test QCA9377-7 (USB) using
https://www.8devices.com/products/blue-bean unfortunately without success. I
started out with Linux 5.7 and modified usb.c:
--- usb.c.org 2020-09-14 11:58:10.905346540 +0200
+++ usb.c 2020-09-14 15:39:51.555416792 +0200

/* table of devices that work with this driver */
static struct usb_device_id ath10k_usb_ids[] = {

+ {USB_DEVICE(0x0cf3, 0xe500)}, /* 8devices BLUE bean */
{ /* Terminating entry */ },
};
Unfortunately this did not work: ath10k_usb is loaded but, but no net device
is created. No error messages; nothing. Firmware package is Debian 10
firmware-atheros 20190114-2. I also noticed
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2017-December/010672.html and as
far as I can tell, this was never merged.
The patch above is bad; the correct product ID for BLUE bean is 0x9378.
QCA9377_1_0_DEVICE_ID in hw.h also needs update. (Or perhaps add a
QCA9377_1_1_DEVICE_ID)
I have now done many tests using both BLUE bean as well as the Linksys
WUSB6100M, without success. I've created custom firmware and board files
based on the instructions on
https://github.com/erstrom/linux-ath/wiki/Firmware, so that shouldn't be
the problem. Tested both the https://github.com/erstrom/linux-ath.git and
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k.git master branches. Regardless, I get the
same kind of error:
[ 35.350683] usb 1-1.2.1: Failed to submit usb control message: -110
[ 35.350686] usb 1-1.2.1: unable to send the bmi data to the device: -110
[ 35.350687] usb 1-1.2.1: unable to write to the device (-110)
[ 35.350688] usb 1-1.2.1: settings HTC version failed
[ 35.350691] usb 1-1.2.1: Could not init core: -22
I have seen https://github.com/erstrom/linux-ath/issues/6. This is the
same type of problem I believe, except that I'm not trying AP mode.
My conclusion is that ath10k with QCA9377-7 (USB) devices are not working
a this point. Just as
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k says :-)
Will try SDIO based RED bean as soon as it arrives.
Best regards,
Peter
