Public bug reported:
This bug is done for a friend. I do talk to him occasionally and he
sends me data. As he's a newbie, he doesn't know how to create a proper
bug report.
Basically, his notebook has the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac
wireless network adapter (rev 32). He had Ubuntu 19.10 and it worked. He
updated to 20.04 and it stopped working. He installed 20.04 from scratch
and it did not work.
20.04's linux-firmware is 1.187. This version does not work for Qualcomm
Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac.
I asked him to download 19.10's linux-firmware package from the ubuntu
repositories, which is at 1.183. After he installed, apt-marked hold the
package so that it would not be upgrade, and rebooted, his wifi worked.
I saw the other bug reports regarding this adapter but they are old, the
newer one has expired and it seems to be related to the unsigned kernel.
