WiFi Issue (Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174)

In addition to Windows, I also have Kubuntu 22.04. In Kubuntu I faced the problem on my laptop (Xiaomi Redmibook 14 RyzenEdition) - OS can't see network card. I've found the guide link but this information is not relevant. Current repository has a lot of directories. Do I have to download all of it?

What did I do:

downloaded linux-firmware
Create a directory (/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/)
Downloaded board.bin, board-2.bin and firmware-4.bin

dmesg:

[    3.254464] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: invalid firmware magic
[    3.254554] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: Failed to find firmware-N.bin (N between 2 and 6) from ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0: -2

[    3.254623] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not probe fw (-2)

ls lib/firmware/ath10k

QCA4019 QCA6174 QCA9377 QCA9887 QCA9888 QCA988X QCA9984 QCA99X0 WCN3990

and QCA6174 has hw2.1 , hw3.0.

ls hw3.0

board-2.bin board.bin firmware-4.bin

Still doesn't work(

after reinstall linux-firmware

Thanks for helping @Pilot6

Solution:

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware
sudo rm /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
Reboot, if doesn't work then

sudo wget https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/blob/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/2.0/board.bin -O /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin

You can also text me. Good luck!

So did it work?

Yes, it did. But I took board.bin from another source

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
