Qualcom modem fix ath10k #33

Open ctrlaltkills opened 9 months ago

ctrlaltkills commented 9 months ago

WARNING - This version of the firmware is very unstable !!!!

Usually wifi doesn't work when raw_mode is on - turn it off before trying to connect to a normal wifi

This is done by starting

sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci sudo modprobe -r ath10k_core sudo modprobe ath10k_core rawmode=0 cryptmode=0 sudo modprobe ath10k_pci

Step 1.

Downloaded https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firm...4.4.1.c3-00059 https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1.c3/firmware-6.bin_WLAN.RM.4.4.1.c3-00059

ATTENTION GO TO STEP 2 FIRST AS THE MODULES MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE WE REPLACE THE FILE //It's also a good idea to copy the original file to firmware-6.bin.orig

and replaced /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin with the downloaded file Step 2. This allows raw mode to be used by stopping network-manager

sudo service network-manager stop

and stop the ath10k_core and ath10k_pci modules with

sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci sudo modprobe -r ath10k_core Step 3. Then we restart ath10k_core with rawmode on

sudo modprobe ath10k_core rawmode=1 cryptmode=1 sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
