[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Roman Shchekin]

Solution with proprietary driver (for example for Redmibook 13 Ryzen
edition):

sudo wget http://www.killernetworking.com/support/K1535_Debian/board.bin -O 
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
sudo wget 
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/raw/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00132-QCARMSWP-1
 -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin

It's a bit offtop, but can help people a lot.

[Wren Turkal]

The latest firmware is not included in the linux-firmware package on
artful. Is this intended? I see that it is only included in the latest
LTS and bionic.

Kai-Heng sorry I can't try it right away. I'm still struggling with
systemd's kexec-load@service to quicken reboot times as I struggle with
nVidia having HDMI sound turned off by default BIOS POST. In the
meantime I've blacklisted `ath10k_pci` and that appears to have saved
2-3 seconds off the boot.

If the fix is from firmware, then we should update the firmware for the
device in question.

[WinEunuchs2Unix]

Kai-Heng,

I was on Hardware stack for awhile but had problems with. Remember many
users opt out of HWE even though it's the default.

I was running 4.14.2 mainline but `kexec` was broken after 4.12 so I
dropped into 4.4.0-101 provided by Ubuntu to make `kexec` work properly.

I do have Ubuntu kernels 4.10.0-28, 4.10.0-37...-38 and -40 but I have
to analyze the release dates to figure out which real Linux kernel
version they are equivalent to.

Are you suggesting an HWE version off the 4.10 kernel tree fixes the
problem and solution in comment #22 is no longer needed???

I use the built-in Ethernet and not the built-in WiFi so not a big deal

bought a brand new laptop first released two years ago so it wouldn't
have bleeding-edge bugs :(

[Warren Turkal]

FWIW, I did the following:

$ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/linux-firmware.git
...
$ cd linux-firmware
$ git checkout bionic
...
$ sudo cp ath10k/QCA6147/hw3.0/* /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6147/hw3.0/

The new firmware seems to drop my connections much more infrequently.
Perhaps upgrading the firmware in the linux-firmware package is the
right solution here.

[Danilo Inácio]

I'm also having a similar issues, I have a xps 9360 with the killer 1535
board running on ubuntu 16.10. The weird part with my case is that I'm
unable to make new requests while the existing ones keep working fine
(like a download or a hangouts/skype call, they never drop).

Example, when browsing a website, the main page load, but the images
from a CDN not. Its very similar to a DNS problem, but I tried google
and open DNS without success. Also, I tested with my other computers and
devices and they are all working fine.

Another example is with music streaming, that fails only when changing
the music file.

I already did the fix suggested by #22, and also updated my linux-
firmware to 1.163 (http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-
firmware/)

Anyone had similar problems?
Would ubuntu 16.04 work better to me?

You could try updating your kernel - I'm on 4.4.0-57. 4.8.x also works
for me.

My board-2.bin is 337204 bytes.
My firmware-4.bin is 733784 bytes. This combination def works for me.

Dowloaded from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0 .The firmware-5.bin under the 4.4
directory doesn't work for me.


I have another board-2.bin (not sure where I got this other version) which is 
271412 bytes - it doesn't work.

Hi Dennis or anyone who can help,

So I tried to fix my disconnecting wifi (ubuntu 16.04 on xps 9360) with

sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/

sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* 2> /dev/null

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin?raw=true

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin?raw=true

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-
firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin_WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1?raw=true

After reboot the wifi option was no longer visibe, ls
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0 showed both board.bin and board-2.bin

so I did
sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin 
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin.bak

now ls /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0 shows board-2.bin and
board.bin.bak but still no wifi option on the after reboot?

Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? I would rather have
disconnecting wifi than no wifi at all, also I'm completely new to linux
and have no idea what I am doing so please be gentle!

Ok so also tried 
sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin 
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin.bak 
which seems to have done nothing but eliminate board-2.bin >< 

heeelp pleeease

I have the exact same laptop 9360 and having the same issue on 16.10.
Have tried everything in this thread and nothing seems to fix the random
wireless disconnects. The only thing which works is to remove the
ath10k_core module and then reload it, followed by a restart of the
dnsmasq to force a refresh

Connection drops randomly, while iwconfig and network manager showing as still

Note that the Wireless card does connect to 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz BUT it fails

The dropping of connection happens once every week or two, but the
randomly loading is about 1 in 5 every time I reboot or cold boot.

For me it started working on 4.4 kernel only with firmware 1.158. You may want 
to try that (there's 1.159 currently available): 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/all/linux-firmware/download
Don't worry that it's in 'yakkety' repo, should work on xenial too.
If that doesn't help, you can try kernel 4.5 or later.

[Gary]

OK -- I have no clue what my issue could be and am starting to get a bit
frustrated with this WiFi chip because it seems like there's nothing I
can do about it. I'm using the Ath10k QCA6174 chipset on a Acer Aspire V
Nitro laptop. Every other device I have connects at a much faster rate
to my Asus AC66U WiFi router, but for the life of me I cannot get my
laptop to connect to it at a rate over 1Mb/s, according to iwconfig and
the nm-applet tool.

I also cannot connect to the 5gz band on the router either, while all my
other devices have no issues. When I got the laptop I was able to
connect to either 2.4 or 5.0 bands in Win10, but since I've installed
Ubuntu it's been hopeless and I've tried just about every solution out
there. Granted, when I first got the laptop getting this chip to connect
to anything WiFi was pretty much a lost cause, and I know that the
driver for it has come a long way, but there are still several issues
with it that's really degrading the potential of the hardware.

Even on the 2.4ghz band, the only one I'm able to connect to I'm having
severe degradation of service and it sometimes won't even connect to the
access point and crashes nm-applet. Can someone please explain why it is
that it's showing only a 1Mb/s bit rate and why I'm unable to connect to
the 5ghz band on the router?

Pardon spreading my frustration but I really don't like Windows and I really 
don't want to succumb to using it for this reason, if all else fails I may just 
try to replace the chip with a different one.

FWIW, I tried most things suggested here and elsewhere, like replacing
all the QCA6174 firmware files with what is in https://github.com/kvalo
/ath10k-firmware and upgrading to the yakkety version of linux-firmware
(1.158 as of the moment). Even with all that, in order for wifi to work
on my laptop, I still have to replace
"/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin" with a version from
Killer Networking's website, as per:

http://www.killernetworking.com/product-support/knowledge-base/17-linux

The required file is directly available at:

I can connect to 5GHz SSIDs, however I see very unstable ping and high
packet loss even when the link is otherwise idle:

526 packets transmitted, 221 received, +9 errors, 57% packet loss, time 525820ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 2.244/93.484/1691.704/201.948 ms, pipe 3

Using the same SSID but using Windows 7, or a 2.4GHz SSID on , normal
performance is seen, >1% packet loss and >3ms ping.

Any ideas here, have I missed something?

[Queeq]

I have just tested with the latest Ubuntu 16.04 beta2. It worked after I
manually added board-2.bin from kvalo's git and reloaded the ath10k_pci
module. On my 2.4GHz network it has shown unbelievable download speed of
around 85-90 Mbit! I use ath9k card on my home server, btw. I'm
impressed!

Running Ubuntu 16.04 current of today (4.4.0-15-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP
Fri Mar 18 19:08:31 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) with a Asus
z170i pro gaming that comes with the "Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac
Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32) [168c:003e]" I got wifi-ac working
just by adding the board-2.bin file, unload ath10k_pci and ath10k_core,
load ath10k_pci.

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin

firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin?raw=true

sudo rmmod ath10k_pci ath10k_core

modprobe ath10k_pci

Monitoring the connection in my router I can see up to 866.7Mbps, though
cifs file transfer speed is just about 100Mbps.

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Dennis Marttinen]

Sorry! I forgot to add, that you need the latest mainline kernel (4.5.0)
for the updated fix to work. My mistake, I will update the description.
If you don't want to update your kernel, you have to use the old method
(post #22), but 5GHz wireless will definitely not work with it. The new
kernel has an updated version of the ath10k driver, which can utilize
both board.bin and board-2.bin from kvalo's repository (now enabling
5GHz), but the ath10k version Ubuntu 15.10 currently uses in it's kernel
(4.2.0) requires the single board-file from FireWalkerX.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

** Description changed:

  ---
  
  STATUS 2016-03-17:
+ 
+ ==
+ WARNING: You need at least kernel 4.5.0 for the following new fix to work, 
else refer to the old method described in post #22
+ ==
  
  The support for this card has now been merged to
  https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware. The repository now contains
  the required board.bin, board-2.bin and firmware-4.bin files for the
  card to initialize and connect to a bgn-access point (5GHz (ac-protocol)
  is still untested, feel free to modify this if you can confirm it
  works). Here are the new commands to get you online:
  
  sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/
  
  sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* 2> /dev/null

  Reboot or reload the ath10k_pci module and you should be able to
  connect!

  STATUS 2015-12-22:
  
  Currently there is a fix for this problem in post #22 (originally post
  #19, but reposted due to command typos!) which seems to have fixed the
  issue for many. This bug is unique to revision 32 of the card
  [168c:003e], fixes for older revisions don't seem to work.
  
  There are a couple of issues regarding the fix for some people (not
  all):
  
  1. Wireless works, but network throughput stops some time after
  connecting to access point
  
  2. Bluetooth communications take a noticeable performance hit when
  transferring something over WiFi

  Original description:
  
  I have recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) alongside Windows 10 on an 
Acer Aspire VN7-792G-76ZH and discovered, that the Qualcomm wireless card 
doesn't work in it or 16.04.
  The card has the device id 168c:003e as many other cards, for example the 
Qualcomm Atheros Killer 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184), but it has a 
newer revision number (32) and the suggested fixes work only partially and the 
wireless is unusable.
  
  The computer has just been released this summer and is Intel Skylake
  -based.
  
  I've tried the patch from bug 1383184, which has a fix for the card revision 
20:
  Make the directory /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ and put in the patch 
files:
  board.bin
  firmware-4.bin
  notice_ath10k_firmware-4.txt
  
  ath10k_pci succeeds in loading the firmware, but it seems that the
  firmware is not working correctly:

Gary, I've figured out that the binary files are read by ath10k rather
than executed directly, so they don't need executable permissions.

Somehow your firmware didn't update from kvallo github, you should
delete the ath10k-firmware folder from home and use git clone again

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Dennis Marttinen]

Thanks to everyone for research and support so far. As Christophe
Chisogne mentioned, a new board-2.bin and a new firmware-4.bin file have
been added to kvalo's ath10k-firmware repository and the [168c:003e]
(rev 32) is now working correctly using the files from kvalo's master
branch. I've also investigated, that ath10k_pci now wants to load both
board.bin and board-2.bin, so I expect that they both are required for
correct functionality (5GHz maybe? Someone with a new access point could
check if it works now).

I'll update the status and add some new instructions to the bug
description.

Also, the bluetooth lag problem exists on ath6k as well (tested), it
might be related to the atheros driver/wifi card family as a whole
rather than just this card.

[Queeq]

Not every card from the [168c:003e] (rev 32) family works. As I
mentioned in my previous post, mine doesn't. Here is its detailed info
(lspci -v):

Adapter (rev 32)

Notice device ID 412f. According to the .inf file extracted from Windows driver

of different cards with (rev 32).

+ STATUS 2015-12-22:
  
  Currently there is a fix for this problem in post #22 (originally post
  #19, but reposted due to command typos!) which seems to have fixed the
  issue for many. This bug is unique to revision 32 of the card
  [168c:003e], fixes for older revisions don't seem to work.
  
  There are a couple of issues regarding the fix for some people (not
  all):
  
  1. Wireless works, but network throughput stops some time after
  connecting to access point
  
  2. Bluetooth communications take a noticeable performance hit when
  transferring something over WiFi

+ Original description:
  
  I have recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) alongside Windows 10 on an 
Acer Aspire VN7-792G-76ZH and discovered, that the Qualcomm wireless card 
doesn't work in it or 16.04.
  The card has the device id 168c:003e as many other cards, for example the 
Qualcomm Atheros Killer 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184), but it has a 
newer revision number (32) and the suggested fixes work only partially and the 
wireless is unusable.
  
  The computer has just been released this summer and is Intel Skylake
  -based.
  
  I've tried the patch from bug 1383184, which has a fix for the card revision 
20:
  Make the directory /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ and put in the patch 
files:
  board.bin
  firmware-4.bin
  notice_ath10k_firmware-4.txt
  
  ath10k_pci succeeds in loading the firmware, but it seems that the
  firmware is not working correctly:

[Nucleo]

ok, update:

with 4.2.0-30-generic #35-Ubuntu and the firewalker 3 files, AND ONLY 3 FILES, 
5Ghz works.
I had an older firmware-5.bin file in the QCA6174 from the old 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184, and removed that. 
that seemed to help.


thanks for all your hard work!

lspci -v :: Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device 1535.

here is the version that works:

The driver is installable from within Wine prefix (haha #2). I've
attached the contents of Qualcomm Atheros folder that is put installed
under Program Files (x86). There is a whole bunch of binaries, eeproms,
etc. there. Maybe someone could find it useful.

I find solution:
- I update kernel to version 4.5-rc4
- I update firmware to latest 
(https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0)
- reboot

Dennis,

take off the 's' in https and it should work fine, I think that is the
problem.

however, the 5Ghz is kind of a problem, does anyone have a solution for
that?

Thanks to Dennis! Now my alienware can reach internet through wifi!!!

My setup is:
Alienware 15 with Qualcomm Atheros wireless card QCA6174 802.11ac (rev 32)
Ubuntu 15.10

I first try "apt upgrade", as instructed by Bug 1383184 -- 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184 
Apparently, it does not work at all.

After 6 hours struggle, I find this post and followed Dennis in #22. Now
my alienware 15 works:)

Cheers!

[Dennis Marttinen]

Hi Niko,

I've tested out a few 5GHz networks too and have found out the driver can't 
handle them.
Older Atheros cards using other firmware and board files are connecting to 5Ghz,
so I think it has something to do with the board file, since the stock 
firmware-4.bin works with the special board.bin file.

It would be great, if someone familiar with ath10k could look at the
source code (the urls in post #19).

I got wifi working on a Acer Aspire V13 (v3-372) through the
instructions in #19. Thank you!

However I noticed that I am unable to connect to a secured (WPA PSK) 5GHz 
network. dmesg shows that the authentication times out.
The non-5GHz version of the same network works fine.
Is this also related to the driver or do I need to look at another component?

Dennis, I don't know who you are but you are my hero! :D

My Acer Aspire v13 has been wifi-less since, well, a long time.
I too had found the https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1383184 bug report, but 
neither the first workaround nor the released fix had any affect. But this 
(post 22) fixed it. I can live without bluetooth in the meantime.

Hey Dennis,

thank you for your workaround. I had the same problems with not working
wifi on my Acer Aspire V15 Nitro - Black Edition laptop.

This is my lspci output:
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless 
Network Adapter [168c:003e] (rev 32)

After using your fix, the wifi works like a charm but as you said my
bluetooth mouse is lagging horrible while transfering data over wifi.

Anything new on this problem? A final fix would be great. :)

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Dennis Marttinen]

I don't think this bug is a duplicate of bug 1383184, as the suggested
fix:

"For now, you guys could use 15.10 (purge the ath10k-dkms if you tried
installing it), and make a copy of
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-
firmware.git/plain/ath10k/QCA6174 into /lib/firmware/ath10k/"

didn't work for me. "dmesg | grep ath" just reports the same old error
as in the description. Also, I have already tried the patches from that
bug report earlier and made this new one especially because it's fixes
didn't work, as you can see in the beginning of the description:

"The card has the device id 168c:003e as many other cards, for example
the Qualcomm Atheros Killer
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184), but it
has a newer revision number (32) and the suggested fixes work only
partially and the wireless is unusable."

That said, I've found out how it's only partially working. The suggested
firmware-4.bin file from that report does work, but the board.bin file
doesn't. If you replace the board.bin file with the file suggested in
this bug report's post #22 the combination starts working.

The status of bug 1383184 is marked as "fix released", but having the
latest network-manager and linux-firmware on kernel
4.4.0-040400rc5-generic (Ubuntu 15.10) does not fix the issue with the
REVISION 32 of the card, which needs the customized board.bin file.

So, not a duplicate?

  I have recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) alongside Windows 10 on an 
Acer Aspire VN7-792G-76ZH and discovered, that the Qualcomm wireless card 
doesn't work in it or 16.04.
  The card has the device id 168c:003e as many other cards, for example the 
Qualcomm Atheros Killer 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184), but it has a 
newer revision number (32) and the suggested fixes work only partially and the 
wireless is unusable.
  
  The computer has just been released this summer and is Intel Skylake
  -based.
  
  I've tried the patch from bug 1383184, which has a fix for the card revision 
20:
  Make the directory /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ and put in the patch 
files:
  board.bin
  firmware-4.bin
  notice_ath10k_firmware-4.txt
  
  ath10k_pci succeeds in loading the firmware, but it seems that the
  firmware is not working correctly:

  ...
  
  Then it just constantly prints the last two messages on and on.
  I can weirdly enough see the card in iwconfig:
  wlp7s0IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:off/any
    Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm
    Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
    Power Management:off
  
  And I can see the wireless-icon in the toolbar, but scanning for access
  points or trying to connect to one doesn't work.
  
  This is the furthest I've gotten. I suspect this card needs a new
  firmware in ath10k?

I've also found out, that my Bluetooth mouse starts lagging behind when
downloading something (for example watching a YouTube video). Other
Bluetooth devices also seem affected, but the slowdown ends instantly
when downloading/uploading over WiFi stops. This has probably something
to do with the card's radio, as it manages both Bluetooth and WiFi? Are
the channels too close to each other? Maybe there is a way to adjust the
bandwidth or frequency if they overlap.

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[dan]

Hey Goacid,

I have now tried disabling IPv6 because I  saw warnings in the syslog right 
about the same time as when the issue occurred:
NetworkManager[730]:  (wlp7s0): Lowering IPv6 MTU (1280) to match device 
MTU (0)
NetworkManager[730]:   (wlp7s0): IPv6 MTU (0) smaller than 1280, adjusting
NetworkManager[730]:   (wlp7s0): Raising device MTU (0) to match IPv6 MTU 
(1280)

So until now, it seems to work.

Please add yourself to the "bug affected" persons.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi

Same issue, same solution, and same problem : wireless network seems ok and few 
second laters, no more working.
ifconfig show normal ip's, dmesg no specific message.
I have to disconnect and reconnect for it works, for few seconds only.

All configuration files are set to defaults, only one wireless card.

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[dan]

Hey Dennis,

/etc/resolv.conf already contained 127.0.1.1 as a name server.
My default gateway is 192.168.0.1 but I think changes would be overridden by a 
reboot. (so I have not tried it yet)

When this connection issue occurs, I cannot even access the default
gateway(my router) via its IP (the connection is always pending). Only
after reconnecting to the network it works instantly.

/etc/network/interfaces does not contain any unnecessary parameters.

regards,
Daniel

Daniel, do you have any other network connection (wireless over USB,
ethernet etc.) active at the same time? And you can safely put the
parameters in /etc/resolv.conf, my configuration hasn't changed even
after numerous reboots.

Hey Dennis,

No this is the only one.  Prior to that, I have used Ethernet.

I changed resolv.conf but I could not verify whether that helped, after
a reboot it was reseted again.

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Dennis Marttinen]

Hi Daniel,

I had similar connection problems, as I had to use an USB WiFi dongle
and cable ethernet before I got the Atheros card working. This had
changed /etc/resolv.conf, so when removed all parameters from the file
and replaced them with the following, the "freezing" issue didn't occur
any more:

nameserver 
search 

You can find the local address with the command:

ifconfig lo

And the router address by looking for "Default Route" in your network
settings.

Remember to check /etc/network/interfaces for any unnecessary
parameters,  mine contains only:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

The wireless interface doesn't require any parameters. Otherwise I'm
glad that the fix worked for you as well.

I have the same situation (fresh Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) alongside Windows
10).

@Dennis Marttinen (technowelho) 
Thank you, your suggestion worked well, but now, I sometimes have connection 
issues (no data throughput), but nothing special shows up in dmesg. When I 
reconnect the wifi it works again. Do you have any ideas? Or maybe what logfile 
I should start looking?

Thanks,

[Dennis Marttinen]

Hi Tim,

I can have a look at the card if you can tell me it's revision number.
If the card has one, it can be found after the device id in lspci, for
example: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
[168c:003e] (rev 32) <- here

This bug report is for the [168c:003e] (rev 32) though, so you might
need to make a new one for your version [168c:041]. You should also
check out some other Atheros bug reports for the card, but since your PC
relatively new, it might be a new issue.

[Dennis Marttinen]

Yeah, sorry there's a little typo in both of the wget commands, I've missed the 
parameter specifying the output file name.
Here are the commands for the fix again, this time with the correct parameters 
and some other little tweaks.
If the /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ directory already exists, remember 
to backup everything from it in case you want to restore the previous 
configuration.



sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/

sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* 2> /dev/null

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-
firmware/blob/7e56cbb94182a2fdab110cf5bfeded8fd1d44d30/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin?raw=true

sudo wget -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin
https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-
firmware/blob/7e56cbb94182a2fdab110cf5bfeded8fd1d44d30/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin_WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1?raw=true

sudo chmod +x /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*



After a reboot your wireless should be working.

The status of this bug should probably not be "In Progress" after a
working solution has been found, but please correct me if I'm wrong. As
I'm not yet familiar with this bug reporting system, could someone
advice me further?

PS. I'm glad you figured it out Oliver, sorry for the extra hassle.

Hello Dennis,

thanks for your work so far. I ve got a new Lenovo u31-70. It has the QCA61x4 
in it.
lspci -nn shows me Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:041].

I tried your commands, but it did not work for me. There was no alarm or
like that within in the terminal. But after the reboot it did not show
any wireless networks to connect.

Do you have an idea?

Thankfully

I managed to find a solution to this problem and have wireless now fully
working!

I found a Github link in jeremy31's post from the Ubuntu Forums link by
Db-d (post #18,
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2304154=13398554), which led
me to Fabian Olesen's firmware versions forked from kvalo's ath10k-
firmware repository. From these different (and new) firmware files I
managed to construct a working combination.

Here are the commands, which should get the rev 32 card running:

If the firmware file directory doesn't exist, create it:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/

If the directory already exists, backup everything important from it:
mkdir ~/ath10k_old
cp /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* ~/ath10k_old

Then delete it's old contents:
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*


Now we can start downloading the new board file and the firmware:

sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-
firmware/blob/7e56cbb94182a2fdab110cf5bfeded8fd1d44d30/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin?raw=true
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin

sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-
firmware/blob/7e56cbb94182a2fdab110cf5bfeded8fd1d44d30/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin_WLAN.RM.2.0-00180-QCARMSWPZ-1?raw=true
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin


Make the files executable:
sudo chmod +x /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*

Reboot and your wireless should now be working!

If this fix works for you Db-d and Oliver, this thread should probably
be marked with "patch released" or something similar and possibly the
fix merged upstream? I'm not sure how to do this (or what to do next) so
could someone give an advice?

Thank you Dennis, happy that it worked for you! 
Unfortunately it didn't work in my case.  Maybe it is another problem since I'm 
not able to see the "wifi" in the toolbar.

[Bug 1520343] Re: Qualcomm Atheros wireless card [168c:003e] (rev 32) not supported

[Oliver]

Good morning,

I looked one more time over the problem this morning and I found that it
is looking for board.bin

[ 2.151400] ath10k_pci :07:00.0: Direct firmware load for
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin failed with error -2

The board.bin in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0 was called
differently (board-2.bin).

I just renamed the file to board.bin

sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin

and now it is working fine!

Thank you!

** Tags added: apport-collected xenial

** Description changed:

  I have recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 (64-bit) alongside Windows 10 on an 
Acer Aspire VN7-792G-76ZH and discovered, that the Qualcomm wireless card 
doesn't work.
  The card has the device id 168c:003e as many other cards, for example the 
Qualcomm Atheros Killer 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184),
  but it has a newer revision number (32) and the suggested fixes work only 
partially and the wireless is unusable.
  
  The computer has just been released this summer and is Intel Skylake
  -based.
