I'm CC'ing Martin Blumenstingl who suggested this change. Since then, ath10k is pulling firmware from here (unless ct firmware is used): https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/qsdk/oss/firmware/ath10k-firmware/plain/ 10.2.4/firmware-5.bin_10.2.4.97-1 However, I don't understand the numbering? 10.2.4.97 > 10.2.4.70, but you say 10.2.4.70.42-2 is more recent? I would have assumed otherwise from the numbers. However, 10.2.4.70 has much more sub-revisions. Is there any document describing the revisions? I don't understand it at least from this wiki page [1]. Thanks! Simon [1] https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k/firmware
