ath11k for QCA6391

[wang chaozheng]

Hello,

I have recently purchased some QCA6391 cards and I am going to try to
get them working with Linux.

When I installed driver ath11k_pci.ko, it shows following, but not show wireless network cards,
such as wlan0.

$ dmesg | grep ath11k
[   10.376207] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: Adding to iommu group 7
[   10.376639] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: WARNING: ath11k PCI support is experimental!
[   10.377478] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: BAR 0: assigned [mem 0x1740000000-0x1740ffffff 64bit]
[   10.377593] ath11k_pci 0004:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Your kernel is very old. While being LTS and shipping a lot of backports, that 
typically is not the case for new features. Additionally, even for LTS 
standards, this version is antique (c.f.: current version of the 5.10 line is 
5.10.230).

QCA6391 support really came with 5.15 or something along those lines.


Do yourself a favor and retest with the mainline kernel version, please.

ath11k even tries to warn:
