I have also installed the firmware-linux-free package. Where should Debian take it when QCA is not providing a firmware-5.bin? Kalle Valo's repo [1] contains different firmware-6.bin (which your ath10k version doesn't seem to support yet) and firmware-4.bin. And Debian ships both - I think the ones which were in linux-firmware [2] at the time of the release. I don't have a QCA6174 hw3.0 but I would guess that ath10k loaded the firmware-4.bin after it failed to load the firmware-5.bin. Kind regards, Sven [1] https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/ [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/
