Issues with wifi, Atheros QCA6174 card after pacman update.

mooze_on_arch · 2017-03-11 02:30:36

Hi guys,

I am facing issues on my Acer Aspire V3-574G-341P with respect to Atheros QCA6174 wifi. It happens only when I switch from one wifi connection to another or if same wifi connection gets disconnected and tries to connect again. To fix the issue I have to reboot the system where it connects to the first wifi connection available. Below is the error I see in "dmesg -w":

[mooze@mooze QCA6174]$

I also checked other forums and did below earlier:

[mooze@mooze modprobe.d]$ more ath10k.conf 
options ath10k_core skip_otp=y
[mooze@mooze modprobe.d]$ pwd
/etc/modprobe.d
[mooze@mooze modprobe.d]$

[mooze@mooze modprobe.d]$ lsmod | grep ath
ath10k_pci             45056  0
ath10k_core           294912  1 ath10k_pci
ath                    28672  1 ath10k_core
mac80211              692224  1 ath10k_core
cfg80211              524288  3 mac80211,ath,ath10k_core
[mooze@mooze modprobe.d]$

I also tried removing authentication from my hotspot but the issue persisted.

Wifi was working fine till last night. I updated and new kernel was installed along with few other stuffs. Please help. Let me know if you require any other information.

Thanks

Please use code blocks when posting code, command-line output or file content,

like so

I've noticed the same issue on a Dell XPS 13 (9360), which uses the same wireless card. As a workaround, restarting the netctl service for that interface works for me.

The kernel seems to be trying to load the wrong file:

[   14.026855] ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: could not fetch firmware file 'ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin': -2

The directory `/usr/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/` doesn't have a `firmware-5.bin` file, like `/usr/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/` as.

Maybe somehow the kernel is getting misguided to load the wrong file? Does any know where that is defined?

Thank you.

EDIT:

I'm a cheat and I've just copied the /usr/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin file to /usr/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin. I no longer get the above error but wireless is still weird, I need to restart it to get it to work.

Well I haven't seen that error. I do see below:

[mooze@mooze ~]$ dmesg | grep ath

Though I have read in many forums that those two firmware errors are fine.

Hi, guys! I have the same issue. I had to reload ath10k_pci module to resume connection to Wi-Fi after the crash. My friend enlighted me and now Network Manager dispatcher is responsible for this job. Here is my script:

#!/bin/bash

IF=$1
STATUS=$2

if [ "$1" == "wlp3s0" ]
then
  case $2 in
    down)
      rmmod ath10k_pci && sleep 5 && modprobe ath10k_pci && date >> /var/log/modtrig.log
      ;;   
  esac
fi

Place it to /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/ and chown to root and make executable.
