Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 not detected Deuterium-amd64_20170429
Hello.
Very new to BL. Very new to Linux with some basic skills. I want to install BL Linux on Lenovo Ideapad 110 notebook (belongs to my better half). It has a Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 wireless card. Using the live option, the card is not detected. No wireless networks are shown. I did some research and there are many post to install the atheros firmware from Jessie backport. I have the following list of firmwares that I tried:
firmware-atheros_0.43_all.deb
firmware-atheros_20161130-3_all.deb
firmware-atheros_20161130-3~bpo8+1_all.deb
firmware-atheros_20170823-1_all.deb
With each file (on separate reboots) I basically right click and install with gdebi installer.
Once this is done, the commands I use are:
modprobe ath10k_pci <-- I read in one of the links that this is what the chip uses.
systemctl restart network-manager
systemctl restart wicd
systemctl restart wpa_supplicant
I also installed WICD on each reboot but no success. Perhaps I am missing a step somewhere.
Please note that I am trying all of this from a live cd and haven't installed BL yet. This is primarily due to the fact that my wifi will not work after the installation. I am hoping to get this working in a live session without a reboot.
Any suggestions will help. If I am breaking any forums rules, please let me know.
Thank you kindly
KK

Re: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 not detected Deuterium-amd64_20170429
You also need to add and run the latest kernel from jessie-backports, since the stock one in BL does not have your driver (ath10k_pci). Remember that drivers and firmware are two different beasts. I would bet that you have more hardware that's going to benefit from that besides just the wi-fi, too.
