OK. The "modinfo -F" command you gave me returns a list of files: ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board.bin ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-2.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-4.bin ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/board-2.bin ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/board.bin ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board-2.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-5.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-4.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-3.bin ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin but not all these files exist in the updated firmware build I downloaded as per Kai-Heng Feng's instructions above. And in the directory you had me check are only *.ko files. So I'm not sure what to replace with what here. Sorry, guys, but the last time I built my own kernel was on Slackware Linux 1.18 in 1994 (if memory serves) and the current structure and organization of the various kernel components is a little beyond me. I'm eager to do whatever you need me to do to provide you with the data you need in order to find out what the problem is, but I'm going to need a little bit of hand-holding here. Sorry to be a pain but I'm not at all sure how to proceed at this point to install the updated kernel and firmware modules you need me to try. Any further advise would be appreciated! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830350 Title: System freezes repeatedly for several seconds; wifi driver related errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1830350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
