My wifi does not work with any of the firmware / board combinations.
Here is my configuration:
Acer R13 372T (very new - maybe to new?), core I5 6200 with Atheros (QCA6174A Wireless network adapter, rev. 32, signature 168c:003e).
openSuse Leap 42.1 with kernel 4.1.12-default
I used Kvalo’s backport (4.2.6-1) to that kernel - installation worked without problems.
I copied the current firmware (firmware-4.bin and firmware-5.bin <as a copy of firmware-4.bin>) and board (board.bin and board-2.bin) <i.e. from ath10k-firmware-master.zip> to the right directory (/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0) but I either get “firmware crashed” or
I also added:
echo “options ath10k_core skip_otp=y” | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf
and really tried all firmwares…
Here are some output:

Thanks a lot for any help!! Pascal
BTW: As I do not have any internet access it is not that easy to update to a new kernel…
