I have this same (revision 32) wifi chipset on my Acer Aspire R5-471T-52EE. After much probing, I was able to get the wifi working with the following instructions found on the Ubuntu bug page:
Good luck!
:::QUOTE:::
I managed to find a solution to this problem and have wireless now fully working!
I found a Github link in jeremy31's post from the Ubuntu Forums link by Db-d (post #18, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … =13398554), which led me to Fabian Olesen's firmware versions forked from kvalo's ath10k-firmware repository. From these different (and new) firmware files I managed to construct a working combination.
Here are the commands, which should get the rev 32 card running:
If the firmware file directory doesn't exist, create it:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/
If the directory already exists, backup everything important from it:
mkdir ~/ath10k_old
cp /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* ~/ath10k_old
Then delete it's old contents:
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*
Now we can start downloading the new board file and the firmware:
sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-f … n?raw=true /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-f … 1?raw=true /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin
Make the files executable:
sudo chmod +x /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*
Reboot and your wireless should now be working!
If this fix works for you Db-d and Oliver, this thread should probably be marked with "patch released" or something similar and possibly the fix merged upstream? I'm not sure how to do this (or what to do next) so could someone give an advice?

My apologies. I see you're right regarding the current linux-firmware package. I was basing my instructions off of an Ubuntu 15.10 clean install I did a few weeks ago on an Acer Aspire with the QCA6174 rev. 32 card which contained a slightly older (and non-working) version of the board.bin firmware file. I see now that I should have just added the latest official firmware package instead.
Here are the checksums in question:
# non-working board.bin:
$ sha256sum /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174.ORIGINAL/hw3.0/board.bin
1a8d225818b46986fc4f615594fbe448fa820618590d6902c8f844bb37cda667 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174.ORIGINAL/hw3.0/board.bin
# working board.bin:
$ sha256sum /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin

The firmware-4.bin files appear identical.

Where did you get that board.bin version? I still have the one that starts with 1a8d225,.,

Sorry you are right both the current firmware package and the current version of the git repositories mentioned in this thread only have the 1a8d225818b46986fc4f615594fbe448fa820618590d6902c8f844bb37cda667

As an interesting test does it work if you leave it named as board-2.bin or does it need to overwrite board.bin.

Looks like loqs tracked down the source of the conflict, but just in case something still goes wrong, here is my gzipped working QCA6174 directory:

@Dkebapmanager
Glad to hear it worked!
I get those errors about the missing board-2.bin and firmware-5.bin as well. Not really sure how to fix it. You can try symlinking board-2.bin to the board.bin file and firmware-5.bin to the firmware-4.bin file and see if that takes care of it -- but I've just left it alone on my laptop for the time being because everything is working despite the errors on boot.
One thing I would suggest, though, is to make a backup copy of your working board.bin and firmware-4.bin files somewhere else. I've twice had those files in /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ be overwritten when performing a system update which have resulted in broken wifi on reboot. Each time, I've simply copied the backed up files back into the QCA6174/ directory, rebooted, and had wifi working fine again.
Julianp thanks alot it works now, I am not sure how but it does, I dont really understand though, he is first looking for firmware-5.bin, after that for board-2.bin? why are those files missing from linux-firmware package? anyway after 2 months of trying everything around, it finnaly works, thank you alot !

The only way to change it would be to change the kernel source code so it doesn't bother to look for the other firmware files. The Intel iwlwifi module does the same thing, it will search for the highest firmware API version first and then look for the others

Will this issue persist or solve itself at some point with a newer version of linux-firmware?

Just a FYI... I've found that making the firmware files executable is not necessary and was an error in the original instructions.
Also, the firmware-5.bin file error can be made to go away by making a symlink pointing firmware-5.bin -> firmware-4.bin
The other errors persist, but it doesn't seem to keep anything from working...

They came from here I think.
Anyway I retried the method but the problem persist.

My kernel: Linux denvit-ws1 4.4.5-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 10 07:38:19 CET 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The problem happens even with the mainline one. I only had my wifi 100% working with Ubuntu 15.10, same FireWalkerX trick but there the wifi was working even at home

How do those md5sums compare with https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmwar … 6174/hw3.0
There have been a couple cases where board-2.bin has to renamed board.bin using kvalos firmware

Yes it is...
Anyway, I'm following the Github Issue, hoping to see if someone other had my same problem.
Currently I'm connected to my work's wifi and everything works fine, unfortunately at home it doesn't.

Is this not a separate issue to the one experienced by the original poster Dkebapmanager?

Hey thank you, this saved me!
I have no words to express my gratitude!
I have this same (revision 32) wifi chipset on my Acer Aspire R5-471T-52EE. After much probing, I was able to get the wifi working with the following instructions found on the Ubuntu bug page:
Good luck!:::QUOTE:::
I managed to find a solution to this problem and have wireless now fully working!I found a Github link in jeremy31's post from the Ubuntu Forums link by Db-d (post #18, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … =13398554), which led me to Fabian Olesen's firmware versions forked from kvalo's ath10k-firmware repository. From these different (and new) firmware files I managed to construct a working combination.
Here are the commands, which should get the rev 32 card running:
If the firmware file directory doesn't exist, create it:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/If the directory already exists, backup everything important from it:
mkdir ~/ath10k_old
cp /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/* ~/ath10k_oldThen delete it's old contents:
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*Now we can start downloading the new board file and the firmware:
sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-f … n?raw=true /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
sudo wget https://github.com/FireWalkerX/ath10k-f … 1?raw=true /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin
Make the files executable:
sudo chmod +x /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/*Reboot and your wireless should now be working!
If this fix works for you Db-d and Oliver, this thread should probably be marked with "patch released" or something similar and possibly the fix merged upstream? I'm not sure how to do this (or what to do next) so could someone give an advice?

I have a question: when I'm installing Arch from only one .iso file in my bootable USB, without internet connection - of course, where can I put those files into?
I got those firmware files without knowing how to use it, what a pity!!
Pardon me!
