Laaag's method works for me using a MSI GS60 running Ubuntu 14.10. I have a working ath10k for Wifi, however Bluetooth does not work still.
I ran the commands exactly as provided which resulted in a 4.1 kernel: 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ dlight@superaquilo:~$ dmesg |grep ath [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ (root@superaquilo) (gcc version 4.9.1 (Ubuntu 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) ) #1 SMP Thu Apr 30 11:10:50 PDT 2015 [ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ root=UUID=0af4ea41-56bb-4cc0-a448-a825d1dd4e0f ro quiet splash [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ root=UUID=0af4ea41-56bb-4cc0-a448-a825d1dd4e0f ro quiet splash [ 2.516095] usb usb1: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ xhci-hcd [ 2.518646] usb usb2: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ xhci-hcd [ 2.532592] usb usb3: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ ehci_hcd [ 2.548632] usb usb4: Manufacturer: Linux 4.1.0-rc1-wl-ath+ ehci_hcd [ 2.570356] Loaded X.509 cert 'Magrathea: Glacier signing key: f1d75de98d36e6c6e95d2b2cf22efa9f1b34c2c0' [ 14.529571] ath3k: probe of 3-1.3:1.0 failed with error -11 [ 14.529593] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath3k [ 17.938639] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 17.939400] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: pci irq msi-x interrupts 8 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 18.130221] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/cal-pci-0000:05:00.0.bin failed with error -2 [ 18.130224] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Falling back to user helper [ 18.130851] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-pci-168c:003e:1a56:1525.bin failed with error -2 [ 18.130855] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Falling back to user helper [ 18.131272] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: failed to load spec board file, falling back to generic: -11 [ 18.146337] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin failed with error -2 [ 18.146341] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: Falling back to user helper [ 18.146735] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: could not fetch firmware file 'ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin': -11 [ 19.346427] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: qca6174 hw2.1 (0x05010000, 0x003405ff, 168c:003e:1a56:1525 fallback) fw killer-n1525-fw api 4 htt 3.0 wmi 4 cal otp max_sta 32 [ 19.346432] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0: debug 0 debugfs 1 tracing 1 dfs 0 testmode 0 [ 19.420001] ath: EEPROM regdomain: 0x6c [ 19.420003] ath: EEPROM indicates we should expect a direct regpair map [ 19.420005] ath: Country alpha2 being used: 00 [ 19.420006] ath: Regpair used: 0x6c [ 19.484468] ath10k_pci 0000:05:00.0 wlan3: renamed from wlan0 While there are errors logged, I've been connected via Wifi for 20+ minutes without a drop yet. -- 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/1383184 Title: Atheros Qualcomm Killer N1525 Wireless-AC [168c:003e] not supported Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20) Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc.
