Bug description:
This card remains unsupported out-of-the-box by the ath10k_pci kernel
module. At this point, it looks like kvalo's ath10k-firmware repo just
needs to be pulled in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK:
I don't actually have this card, but AndyP was able to get this card
to work by following my instructions, so I've written them here in a
clearer format.
1) Use a kernel that supports this card
Support for this card is not present in kernel 4.2. However, it was
added at some point between then and kernel 4.4. If you're running
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS or above, your kernel is fine; skip to the next step.
If you're running Ubuntu 15.10 or below, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds for info on installing a
newer kernel. Alternatively, you can use backports. This is a lot more
work, but if you really need to keep using an older kernel for some
reason, there are some guides to installing backports in the comments
below.
2) Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
firmware/archive/master.zip
wget https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/archive/master.zip
3) Unzip the downloaded file. Inside the ath10k-firmware-master folder
is a folder named QCA9377. Copy the QCA9377 folder to
/lib/firmware/ath10k:
unzip master.zip
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware-master/QCA9377/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/
4) Run the following commands to rename the necessary firmware file:
cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/
sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin
5) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is
recognized. You can delete the files you downloaded earlier:
cd ~
rm master.zip
rm -r ath10k-firmware-master/
Please tell me if these instructions are working for you.
The original bug description follows.
