[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1436940] Re: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6164 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0041] is not supported
I just updated to xubuntu 16.04 and it did not work out of the box. However the folder QCA6164 in /lib/firmware/ath10k is already there and I got it to work by simple renaming the folders: sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174_moved/ sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6164/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ However I am still unable to set up an ad-hoc network to share the ethernet connection with my phone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436940 Title: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6164 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [168c:0041] is not supported Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Wily: Confirmed Bug description: The firmware for this card isn't included with Ubuntu. The firmware provided in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174 in Ubuntu 16.04 crashes when used with this card. This included firmware is likely for the QCA6174 instead of this card, the QCA6164. Yes, you read that right: the files for the QCA6164 need to be a folder called QCA6174 in order for the card to work. Running "modprobe ath10k_pci" shows that the ath10k_pci module looks for firmware in a folder called QCA6174, but not in any folder called QCA6164. It seems that before this issue can be resolved, the ath10k_pci module must be changed so that it recognizes firmware for both the QCA6164 and QCA6174, in separate folders. --- HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK: 1) Use a kernel that supports this card According to WikiDevi, support for this card was added in kernel 4.3. If you're running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or above, your kernel is fine; skip to the next step. If you're running Ubuntu 15.10 or below, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for info on installing a newer kernel. Alternatively, you can use backports. This is a lot more work, but if you really need to keep using an older kernel for some reason, there are some guides to installing backports in the comments below. 2) Get rid of the firmware folder for this card that's included with Ubuntu: sudo rm -r /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ 3) Download the latest firmware: wget https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/archive/master.zip 4) Unzip the downloaded file. Inside the ath10k-firmware-master folder is a folder named QCA6174. Copy the QCA6174 folder to /lib/firmware/ath10k: unzip master.zip sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware-master/QCA6174/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/ 5) Rename two of the firmware files like so: cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/ sudo mv firmware-5.bin_SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 firmware-5.bin cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ sudo mv firmware-4.bin_WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1 firmware-4.bin 6) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is recognized. You can delete the files you downloaded earlier: cd ~ rm master.zip rm -r ath10k-firmware-master/ Verified to work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with kernel 4.4.0-21-generic) Last updated April 22, 2016 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1436940/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1436940] Re: Atheros wifi 168c:0041(QCA6174) is not supported
I have a levovo u31-70 with the same problem. I have tried to follow the steps in the posts #75 #81 #85 and #90 but it didn't work. I can now see the wireless in the menu, I managed to connect the first time for 5 seconds and then the wireless stopped showing the available connections. Rebooting did not help. I have Xubuntu 15.10 with kernel 4.2.0, and I think that this is the problem, right? If I understood correctly the dkms works with kernel 4.1... Can someone please help me? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1436940 Title: Atheros wifi 168c:0041(QCA6174) is not supported Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Vivid: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Wily: Confirmed Bug description: The atheros wireless device (168c:0041) isn't supported by the ath10k_pci kernel driver.

I runned again echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf and rebooted and now it works. I'm not sure why...
