Qualcomm QCA6174 Wifi not working
nun - over 4 years ago -
My laptop (a Dell Latitude 3580) uses a Qualcomm QCA6174 wifi adapter, which I just can't seem to get working properly.
lspci | grep -i net
produces the following output:
[nun@freedom ~]$ lspci | grep -i net 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15) 02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 32)
If I have understood the Wiki page correctly, I won't have to install anything. but when I run
ip link
I only get the following output:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp1s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether [mac] brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

the only entry for that device on h-node indicates that it is not supported by the debian kernel without blobs - you may need to replace it, in order to use it with linux-libre
you could see if the module is loaded
# lsmod | grep ath
or if not, try loading it manually
# modprobe ath9k

Oh well, loading the module didn't do anything either. I guess I will have to look into supported USB adapters.
