Bug#800820: firmware-atheros: Missing firmware for QCA6174
Package: firmware-atheros
Version: 20160110-1
Followup-For: Bug #800820
Dear Maintainers,
There were multiple upgrades and increased support in the kernel firmware
since Oct 4, see, e.g.,
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/log/ath10k/QCA6174?showmsg=1
Please, re-package firmware-atheros with these improvements letting
support for several newer boards in the 168c:003e and 168c:0041 domains.
My Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 [168c:003e] (rev 32) Lite-On Communications Inc
[11ad:0807] board does not work with Debian sid firmwares, but works
(though sometimes connection breaks having to reconnect) after downloading
hw3.0/board-2.bin from git.kernel.org (and putting it into
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/).
Also, I think 6164 is a typo in the title, instead of 6174 (and probably
was also in bug 800703).
Thank you for your work,
Andras
