Missing hardware support - Killer Wireless-AC 1525 in ath10k/ #17

Closed directhex closed 8 years ago

directhex commented 9 years ago

MSI are claiming out-of-the-box SteamOS Support (with a capital S) for their GAMING-series motherboards, e.g. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X99A-GAMING-7.html#hero-overview

The OEM requirements at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/blob/master/OEM.md say hardware should use in-tree kernel modules only, for all hardware.

The Atheros/Killer wifi chip used by MSI on some of their recent hardware is NOT supported by the SteamOS kernel - it requires a 4.0 kernel (or backports from post-Alchemist ath10k/). New firmware is also required for this hardware, which is not included in the firmware packages in SteamOS.

We're looking at switching to 4.1 at some point, would that include the right bits?

directhex commented 9 years ago

Yes, as long as firmware gets bumped to match

Is this working on brewmaster 2.49?
