QCA9377 and ath10k on Ubuntu 15.04 (Apparently now it's supported)

Excelent! Mine is working on Ubuntu 14.04. My laptop: Acer Aspire E5-573-5148. Based on post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...5#post13386625 from dr-cono, what I did was:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf

In a temoporary directory (on a new Kernel installation, only repeat the following steps):

wget http://filebin.ca/2LVgpjSgiT56/backports-ath-2015-11-05.tar.bz2
tar -vxf backports-ath-2015-11-05.tar.bz2
cd backports-ath10k-2015-11-05
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install

Again in the temporary directory:

git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ath10k/ /lib/firmware/
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/QCA9377 /lib/firmware/ath10k/
sudo mv /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin

Then reboot.

rinfinity: Yep, my notebook is Samsung!

I've attached the wireless info... hope it helps!

Just for the record, I've also tried it on an Ubuntu 15.10 and it's also working.

This is working for me. But I have a problem when bluetooth is activated too. When bluetooth is transmitting audio for example, the wi-fi connection really slows down. For instance, I can't see a video on Internet when listening the audio via blueetooh, because it works for some seconds, then stops several more seconds to load, and so on.

Both things (wi-fi and bluetooh) works perfectly if used without the other.

Any idea?.
