I've scored myself a new laptop. With that come new problems. I updated to 4.12.0 to make sure i'm on the latest. lspci says: 01:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32) So relevant bits from dmesg: [ 124.268483] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0 [ 124.524661] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qca6174 hw3.2 target 0x05030000 chip_id 0x00340aff sub 144d:c14f [ 124.524668] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: kconfig debug 0 debugfs 1 tracing 0 dfs 0 testmode 0 [ 124.526309] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware ver WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00008-QCARMSWP-1 api 6 features wowlan,ignore-otp crc32 bdced4e9 [ 124.590884] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to fetch board data for bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=144d,subsystem-device=c14f,variant=K from ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin [ 124.590901] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: board_file api 1 bmi_id N/A crc32 ed5f849a [ 125.164076] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Unknown eventid: 118809 [ 125.167113] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Unknown eventid: 90118 I've tried firmware-6 from: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0 Specifically firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00008-QCARMSWP-1. firmware-4.bin also is a no go. How can I help make this work? I have all the windows .bin's but none of them match the same header that the Linux fw bin files have (but a chunk of the binary seems familiar having a quick binary dump of it). There is some mysterious way of generating the Linux firmware files I can't google for. I also have some help from the OEM - the engineers who made the laptop (not the chip wifi maker though). I have already verified which GPIO lines control RFkill on this device (and they are clear and unkilled by default - both lines up at 1 and it's confirmed that this means RF is unblocked from the engineers. It took me a while to figure out their GPIO mapping table/naming onto kernel GPIO numbering). So the Wifi (an BT actually) should be powered on. It's a combo chip. So how can I help. What data do I need to scrounge to provide. How are firmware files built to work for Linux (based off the windows ones) for ath10k? -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) raster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
