For the end users I recommend using the ath11k firmware files from the official linux-firmware unless you have a specific reason to update (reporting a bug etc). That way there's more testing by the developers before you get access to it. I try update latest ath11k-firmware releases to linux-firmware roughly every three months, so it really comes down to if you want run bleeding edge or not. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches -- ath11k mailing list ath11k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath11k
