Bug#832925: firmware-atheros: Please add the firmware for the wireless QCA9377 from atheros
Package: firmware-atheros
Version: 20160110-1
Severity: normal
I have a new laptop Asus E200HA. I was able to use the stretch DVD to install Debian.
I found that this package is missing the firmware for the QCA9377. The firmware can be
download from "git clone https://github.com/ajaybhatia/Qualcomm-Atheros-QCA9377-Wifi-Linux";
It contains too a driver, but that is not needed on kernel 4.6. The install.sh script
is not good for Debian too.
