If I want to try ath10k-ct-driver, where I can get stable version? There has information about pci-e layout. The device has two PCI-e slots. one is the original pci-e slot of main board and the other one is the output of pci-e switch. case 1:one is the original pci-e slot of main board case 2:one is the output from pci-e switch. We can get QCA9884 pci-e information (VID and IID) form /sys/bus/pci/device in case 1 and case 2 ath10k driver always work in case 1 and always get the firmware crash message in case 2. Does ath10k driver have any limits about pci-e layout? Thanks, KC -----Original message----- From:Ben Greear To:KC Cc:KC Chen ,ath10k Date:Sat, 28 Apr 2018 01:20:41 Subject:Re: ath10k driver firmware crash when bring up qca 9984 wireless car d I think it might be something like a null-pointer exception, but those do not create a clean backtrace. If you wanted to use my ath10k-ct driver, it can sometimes gather additional info for these types of crashes that lets me know more about it. But, if your problem is with backporting a driver anyway, maybe that is not so much help. If you could move forward to at least the 4.9 kernel, then likely you will have better luck with the 9984.
