Sorry if I used "patch" in the wrong place. I solved the problem by following the instructions on the linked website, meaning: Download the content of https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/ and copy both files to "/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/"
Install "libncurses5-dev gcc make git exuberant-ctags" Download https://github.com/kvalo/ath/archive/master.zip Extract the content, change to the created directory and run "cp /boot/config-(YOUR_KERNEL) .config" which was "config-4.1.0-2-amd64" in my case. Compile via "make" and "make modules_install install" Create "/etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf" containing "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" However, following solution was posted in the arch forums, but I do not know how to verify if it works: This kernel patch : https://github.com/atondwal/linux/commit/22f8a4083883eca3e8a3175315d67d2a04392466 This firmware : https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1 Hope this helps, and let me know about further instructions if necessary.
