Hi I am trying to get WIFI working on a Acer Aspier E 15 E5-575-30QD
lspci shows the following with respect to WIFI: 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30) verbose output - see in bottom of mail. I am not sure which Qualcomm device it is, what I can find on the net is that the above lspci string is mentioned together with QC9377 ... so I have tried that, but would like to know if it is the correct name. It is on a fresh installed Debian 8.5 with non-free drivers from here: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/8.5.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.5.0-amd64-kde-desktop+nonfree.iso After installation I have upgraded it and rebooted it (don't remember if there was a new kernel) I have cloned https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git into /lib/firmware/ath10k and copied the bin file that I think I should use to a new file without the part after .bin sudo git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git /lib/firmware/ath10k sudo cp -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin Reboot - no wifi module detected Added a file: /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf with the following line: options ath10k_core skip_otp=y Reboot - no wifi module detected Any hints? Further I have a (minor) issue with bluetooth, but I have not been looking into that. Otherways the labtop seems good supported (sound works - didn't during live session from USB), webcam works (during live session) Br, Benny Simonsen dmesg related to WIFI: [ 0.324274] pci 0000:02:00.0: [168c:0042] type 00 class 0x028000 [ 0.324461] pci 0000:02:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xa1000000-0xa11fffff 64bit] [ 0.325185] pci 0000:02:00.0: PME# supported from D0 D3hot D3cold [ 0.325383] pci 0000:02:00.0: System wakeup disabled by ACPI [ 0.334681] pci 0000:00:1d.2: PCI bridge to [bus 02] [ 0.334686] pci 0000:00:1d.2: bridge window [mem 0xa1000000-0xa11fffff] sudo lspci -vvnn shows the following with respect to WIFI: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:0042] (rev 30) Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc Device [11ad:0806] Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at a1000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=2M] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable+ 64bit- Address: 00000000 Data: 0000 Masking: 00000000 Pending: 00000000 Capabilities: [70] Express (v2) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 256 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s unlimited, L1 <64us ExtTag- AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE+ FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd+ ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop- MaxPayload 256 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <4us, L1 <64us ClockPM+ Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- CommClk+ ExtSynch- ClockPM- AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- DevCap2: Completion Timeout: Not Supported, TimeoutDis+, LTR+, OBFF Via message DevCtl2: Completion Timeout: 50us to 50ms, TimeoutDis-, LTR+, OBFF Disabled LnkCtl2: Target Link Speed: 2.5GT/s, EnterCompliance- SpeedDis- Transmit Margin: Normal Operating Range, EnterModifiedCompliance- ComplianceSOS- Compliance De-emphasis: -6dB LnkSta2: Current De-emphasis Level: -6dB, EqualizationComplete-, EqualizationPhase1- EqualizationPhase2-, EqualizationPhase3-, LinkEqualizationRequest- Capabilities: [100 v2] Advanced Error Reporting UESta: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- UEMsk: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- UESvrt: DLP+ SDES+ TLP- FCP+ CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF+ MalfTLP+ ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- CESta: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr- CEMsk: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr+ AERCap: First Error Pointer: 00, GenCap- CGenEn- ChkCap- ChkEn- Capabilities: [148 v1] Virtual Channel Caps: LPEVC=0 RefClk=100ns PATEntryBits=1 Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- Ctrl: ArbSelect=Fixed Status: InProgress- VC0: Caps: PATOffset=00 MaxTimeSlots=1 RejSnoopTrans- Arb: Fixed- WRR32- WRR64- WRR128- TWRR128- WRR256- Ctrl: Enable+ ID=0 ArbSelect=Fixed TC/VC=ff Status: NegoPending- InProgress- Capabilities: [168 v1] Device Serial Number 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 Capabilities: [178 v1] Latency Tolerance Reporting Max snoop latency: 3145728ns Max no snoop latency: 3145728ns Capabilities: [180 v1] L1 PM Substates L1SubCap: PCI-PM_L1.2+ PCI-PM_L1.1+ ASPM_L1.2+ ASPM_L1.1+ L1_PM_Substates+ PortCommonModeRestoreTime=50us PortTPowerOnTime=10us
