Issue description

I am currently using ethernet, but I want to be able to use wifi. currently journalctl -b | grep ath gives me-

Feb 25 21:07:12 nixos kernel: ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0

I have tried adding the firmwareLinuxNonfree package to configuration.nix but I am not sure if that did anything.

Steps to reproduce

Fresh install with atheros hardware I guess... Problem is with ath10k firmware.

Do you have the option hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware enabled? I had the same kind of issue with my Intel WiFi chip when it wasn't enabled.

This could be firmware-related since we have similar issues with ath10k in the past. Please try a recent a recent 19.03 or 19.09 channel and feel free to reopen if this issues persists.

NixOS / nixpkgs
