Killer Wifi Network and linux solution

[FireWalkerX]

Hi, just throwing in the solution that i found in regard to the killer wifi 1535 device under linux:

if running ubuntu, or one of the derivatives

install kernel 4.3 from the ubuntu kernel team
http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2015/11/linux-kernel-4-3-released/

grab the board-2.bin and firmware-4.bin from my git repo:
https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-firmware.git

place them in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/

board-2.bin might be in need of a namechange, do the following after you have done above, and rebooted:

dmesg |grep ath10k

look for error loading firmware or something like that if it complains about missing a file called cal-<something> in /lib/firmware/ath10k then rename board-2.bin and copy there

reboot, and your wifi is up and running

install kernel 4.3

I was was looking for this information however I'm using Arch.
Where did you read the kernel 4.3 supports the Killer WiFi? I googled but couldn't find it

Thanks

the ath10k driver solution is working for killer wifi 1535, using https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware firmware bundle, but use linux 4.3, not kvalo kernel

4.2 works on mine with Killer. 3.19 doesn't. Haven't tried any in between.
