Will the Mint 17.3 wifi card solution [Qualcomm Atheros QCA6164] work on LMDE2?

Post by jameskga »

I was told to install backports last year as the kernel back then didn't support my wifi card. On Mint 18 the card works out of the box and I have internet. Does JeremyB's backports solution for Mint 17.3 apply on LMDE2?

They say your favorite Mint edition was the one you installed when you still went to school with your friends.

Maybe this is the cause: Running "modprobe ath10k_pci" shows that the ath10k_pci module looks for the firmware in a folder called QCA6174, but not in any folder called QCA6164."
