It seems to be a quite old release and I have no knowledge if anyone even tests that firmware branch with ath10k. I recommend to only use firmware releases from ath10k-firmware.git as we use those internally with ath10k. In any case, don't make any assumptions about future from that firmware branch as it's so old. -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
