Bug#947980: firmware-atheros: Please package new "upstream" firmware version
yes, please update this for me also.
I have QCA6174; I've been experiencing a problem whereby sometimes
webpage loading hangs, fixed by turning wifi off and on again.
Also, I'm seeing a LOT of this in dmesg:
[37875.481395] pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: Corrected error received:
0000:00:1c.4
[37875.481402] pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: PCIe Bus Error:
severity=Corrected, type=Data Link Layer, (Transmitter ID)
[37875.481405] pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: device [8086:9d14] error
status/mask=00001000/00002000
[37875.481407] pcieport 0000:00:1c.4: AER: [12] Timeout
I'm already using the latest UEFI (mentioned in [2] below).
I see that from the changelog of this package that QCA6174 seems to
have last been updated last May. It seems to have seen a few updates in
the linux firmware git ([1]) since then.
I see in the Arch Wiki ([2]) that the above issue is discussed and
there is a suggestion of manually installing the latest firmware from
the linked 'kvalo' github repo. I've not tried this yet (nor
alternatively that in the linux repo).
