Qualcomm QCA61x4A not working on Special R72 #240

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

Forced to use an USB ethernet adapter, the WiFi just doesn't turn on. GalaxyBook 12

For QCA9377 do this: type Ctrl + Alt + F2 $ cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0 $ ls board-2.bin board.bin firmware-5.bin firmware-6.bin notice_ath10k_firmware-5.txt notice_ath10k_firmware-6.txt $ sudo rm firmware-6.bin notice_ath10k_firmware-6.txt

So for QCA6174, $ cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174, remove hw3.0, I think its OK, but I don't ensure.

@HunterPlus Removing hw3.0 does not work. The kernel tries to look for firmware file in this folder.

It seems it's the same issue as: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2384640 Since, the wifi works with fyde, so I took the file lib/modules/4.14.83/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.ko from fyde image to replace the one in Special R72. It works now.

Should be sorted in later builds regardless. Please test.
