firmware-5.bin worked for my 1535 board in an Alienware 17 R3. I'm testing the board file now, with a new kernel. |
firmware5-bin has worked for my as well in an Alienware 15 R2. Thank you. |
I tried the same but failed.. can you tell me how you did it step by step? https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-oCtUsYAoieMmdwSmNZa0hNRVE At the link above you find the drivers used by windows 10 for the Killer I tried making the linux drivers using dissect.py and assemble.py but Can anybody help? |
If I try the procedure (dissect/assemble) I get: |
firmware-4.zip |
@Zibri yeah I get that as well here. Don't worry is just the reporting statistics that get wrong because the ath10k driver actually doesn't support the newer firmware. If you do a network test you will see that its getting full speed. |
And I also read "found invalid board magic" in dmesg |
One year later, any news on this? |
@AbelVM well, for some unknown reason, when I installed Ubuntu 18.04 everything is working fine. Looks like it was merged somewhere and got upstream in Ubuntu LTS. Not sure where though. |
I'm on 18.04.1 and getting firmware crashes all around. I've tested the out-of-the-box config, updating the kernel to 4.18.x, updating the linux-firmware-all, updating the QCA6174 from here... same behavior:
But regardless the last message, the connection remains "limited" or "none" and I need to manually restart the device and/or the service. It's so recurring that I've made my own script to do so: #!/bin/bash
RED='\033[0;31m'
GREEN='\033[0;32m'
NC='\033[0m' # No Color
WFSTATUS=$(nmcli networking connectivity check)
if [ "$WFSTATUS" == "full" ]; then
echo -e "${GREEN}WiFI OK"
else
echo -e "${RED}WiFi is down, status = "$WFSTATUS
echo -e "${NC}Restarting WiFi..."
nmcli radio wifi off
sleep 10s
nmcli radio wifi on
sleep 10s
WFSTATUS=$(nmcli networking connectivity check)
if [ "$WFSTATUS" == "full" ]; then
echo -e "${GREEN}WiFI is back"
else
echo -e "${RED}WiFi is still down, status = "$WFSTATUS
echo -e "${NC}Restarting network..."
sudo netplan apply
sleep 10s
nmcli radio wifi on
sleep 10s
echo "New status: "$(nmcli networking connectivity check)

I keep getting crashes, sorry to spam this PR, but I find no other place to report it
|
@AbelVM thats odd, have you tried all the firmwares mentioned in this PR (besides the one in the PR)? It seens that the firmware that has been loaded for you |
Yep 😢 |
Some log messages during crash and later restart using the script above:
|
New crash detected by sudden
|
Ubuntu 18.10, back to Canonica signed kernel, same behavior. |
Somewhat off-topic but a very good news is that Rivet Networks teamed up with Intel. Gamers are complaining, but as a Linux user I'm super happy. I was about to do the usual wifi card swap to an Intel in my newest laptop, when I got floored to see that the AC 1550 is already an Intel card. That's when I learned the good news https://www.anandtech.com/show/12178/its-actually-an-intel-chip-rivet-networks-launches-the-killer-wirelessac-1550 There's no error in |
@kvalo can you merge this please? i can confirm ubuntu 18.04 is decent with this chip for dailly driving but i would like the absolute ground-zero source of truth wrt wifite and other exotic usecases |
Ok so I'm basically a noob arround that firmware stuff. But I had a problem with my new laptop that had an Killer 1535 board that didnt worked with any firmwares I could find in the internet.
So I followed this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1383184/comments/115 and managed to get it working.
I got the newest driver from Clevo for my Killer 1535, dissected the qca61x430.bin (instead 420.bin) and assembled the same files.
I also used another eeprom file eeprom_qca9377_1p0_NFA435_olpc.bin but the original one seens to be working as well.
I'm at Ubuntu 15.10.
I dont know if I did correct, but it is working fine now. Let me know if you need any more info from my machine or from me. I hope I can help ^^
