Hideman007,
you put then at
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ Inside the folder you have hw2.1 and hw3.0, so you put the files into the proper folders.
Of course, you have to modprobe the module in and out:
# modprobe -r ath10k_pci
# modprobe ath10k_pci I did that and wifi-menu worked. But as the thread shows, before doing that, verify each file checksum.
I'm having performance issues with this card, for common day to day tasks, but you can get through
installation with this workaround.

If you are using a newer kernel-4.4 and higher you might have better luck with firmware from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel … .git/tree/ or https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware
It is hard to tell when distros update their firmware to match upstream

I mean: I haven't finish installing Arch yet because I can not run the command "pacstrap /mnt base base-devel", which require an Internet connection. And the setup file (.iso) is the only thing I have in my bootable USB.
So, what do you really mean by saying "put the files into the PROPER folders"?? The problem is: what is the directory of the firmware I downloaded, or where can I put it into? The same bootable USB or where?
Thanks for your respond !

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I thought I was subscribed to this thread so was unaware of new posts.

As I said in the previous post, when you download the firmware you have the hw2.1 and hw3.0. You must copy the files inside of these folders and put then in the respective folders of /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/.
If you LS /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/ , inside of it there is also hw2.1 and hw3.0 folders, so you have to copy the files from your download to the firmware folder with the same names.
