Hello, I have the Win10 said adieu. Have installed me Elementary. Unfortunately, I do not know how I have to install the WLAN driver. Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Can anybody help me further? Merci.
Hi webcam, you need atk10 firmeware. Your Chips Firmeware QCA6174 is available in Kernel 3.20+ (changelog), but elementary runs on 3.13 currently. Please try the backport solution from here, you will download the addon-sourcecode for this athk10 module, compile and install it. this way you don't need a kernel 3.20+ copy-paste line-by-line Code (Text): sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-generic wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/03/13/backports-20150313.tar.xz tar xvfJ backports-20150313.tar.xz cd backports-20150313 make defconfig-ath10k make sudo make install And reboot. Let us know if this did resolve the issue ?
Hello, have all made such as you wrote above. With no command was an error. Unfortunately my wireless still does not work. Maybe my laptop is too new for Elementary OS. I have an ACER Aspire VN7-792G. Greeting Daniel
Hello Daniel, my other idea is to install a new kernel. This installation is really simple and i didn't know from any situation where it breaks up something on the notebook. Just copy again, line-by-line in your Terminal, this will download and install kernel 4.4.4 stable (latest). If you have 64 Bit Linux installed (amd64) Code (Text): wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-headers-4.4.4-040404-generic_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_amd64.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-image-4.4.4-040404-generic_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_amd64.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-headers-4.4.4-040404_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_all.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.4*all.deb linux-headers-4.4.4*amd64.deb linux-image-4.4.4*amd64.deb sudo reboot If you have 32 Bit Linux installed (i386): Code (Text): wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-headers-4.4.4-040404-generic_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_i386.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-image-4.4.4-040404-generic_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_i386.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4.4-wily/linux-headers-4.4.4-040404_4.4.4-040404.201603031931_all.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.4*all.deb linux-headers-4.4.4*i386.deb linux-image-4.4.4*i386.deb sudo reboot GRUB is re-configuring itself automatically, the command sudo update-grub is already done (loading new kernel at boot). After reboot, you can type uname -r in your terminal, the answer should be kernel 4.4.4 instead of kernel 3.13 Does the WLAN work now?
Lief again through without an error message. Unfortunately still no Wi-Fi. But now my flickering screen. I install Elementary again new. Greeting Daniel
Hello, have now bought a USB WLAN Stick and did everything again reinstalled. Detects is the stick, but I believe he will not be activated. Bus 001 Device 002: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS]
hey webcam, i've found a tutorial for your wifi stick. It's german, but just copy-paste the terminal commands from here: https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/wlan-stick-524440/3/#post-5638107 You can type "uname -a" into your Terminal first to check what kernel you are running on. I guess it is 3.13.80, so the following would be for you: Code (Text): sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-$(uname -r) linux-headers-generic build-essential dkms git git clone https://github.com/pvaret/rtl8192cu-fixes.git sudo dkms add ./rtl8192cu-fixes sudo dkms install 8192cu/1.10 echo "blacklist rtl8192cu" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf Reboot is now required. Let me know if this driver runs ?
Hello @paradise! I did your solution above installing a new kernel and it's working! I have a Samsung ATIV Book 5 with QCA6174 802.11ac and the card is functional now. For some strange reason it won't find my 5GHz networks but as long as Wi-Fi works. One problem though. When I booted, it took a bit more than usual and I had a bug report waiting for me when I got to my desktop. Problem installing bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.2 One thing I noticed was that the UnreportableReason said it wasn't an official elementary package. How can I fix this error? Thanks.
