I see that there is a more recent set of files labeled 3.6510.16 in the GitHub repo for this card. Are these firmware files safe to use or is the best practice to wait until they land in the official kernel.org repo? Thank you. -- ath11k mailing list ath11k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath11k ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
