However, it would be nice to get this working in the 4.1.6 kernel which supposedly supports the 6174 chip. The problem in the Fedora kernel is that the direct firmware load fails, althoug the same firmware works with the linux-next tree. What would need to be backported to the 4.1 tree in order to get the card working? -- Susi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussilehtola@fedoraproject.org _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
