I think you would be better off making backup copies of the specific files the driver uses, then replace the original files with the versions from the link. Running "modinfo -F firmware /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/ath10k_pci.ko" in a terminal will give you a list of the firmware files the driver may be using. Note that the paths it prints need to have /lib/firmware/ prepended. > 2.

You might also need the linux-headers-*_all.deb package. You probably only need the headers packages if you are using dkms modules, but if the *_amd64 package without the *_all package won't do you much good. If you're unsure whether you need them just go ahead and install them; they won't hurt anything. -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
