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

[praseodym]

Obviously, its trying to load a Broadcom module:

sudo modprobe -rfv wl
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -v ath10k_pci
dmesg | grep ath

And post

dkms status

as the script result shows signs of Adam Lee's dkms package

[joucoski]

Sorry, but I did not understand the suggestion. The answer is to my problem or another user? Thanks.

[joucoski]

This is the result:

$ dkms status
backath10k, 2.0, 3.13.0-74-generic, x86_64: installed

sudo dkms remove backath10k/2.0 --all

Reboot and try reinstalling backports

cd backports-20151120
make clean
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install

Reboot, if it doesn't work, post

dmesg | grep ath10k

[joucoski]

I just ran the command:

sudo dkms remove backath10k/2.0 --all

I restarted the notebook and the network card began to work! I do not know what has been done, but thank you very much for your help !!!

It's work for me on my Samsung Expert X30, in this sequence:

mkdir tmp-ath10k
cd tmp-ath10k

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

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

cd ..

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

thanks a lot!!

Mine too after some minor changes, due 403 issues.

Ath10k QCA9377 on Ubuntu 15.10 (Apparently now it's supported)

#1 Create a temporary directory

mkdir tmp-ath10k

#2 And then,
cd tmp-ath10k

#3 this is to install some necessary softwares, as we need to install from source from git repository

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git

#4
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf

#5 we'll download patched backports in the directory we're working from

(stopped following this advice from rinfinity due 403 issues and continued with this post from chili555)

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...0151120.tar.gz

#6 extract the downloaded file
tar -zxvf backports-20151120.tar.gz

#7Get into the extracted folder, and enter these commands one by one, to install the backport.

cd backports-20151120
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install

#10 reboot

No need of renaming files …

Guys, thanks a lot!!!

My acer E5-573-P83X runs now fine w/ WiFi ac.
