QCA9377 USB wireless recurrent problem












1














I'm running Ubuntu 18.04. I tried the accepted answer to this question, however my attempts to reproduce the results are unsuccessful. Repeated trips to the well to get newer versions of the software won't compile correctly with repeated implicit declarations of functions like setup_timer() and config_enable(). Is there some switch (or option) that needs to be set for a successful compile?



uname -a returns:



4.15.0-42-generic #45-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov15 . . .


Located /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0 on the machine (suggested by Jan2016 post--wireless not working on Acer Aspire E 15).



After I get that behind me, I want to use the Linksys USB wireless adapter, WUSB6100M with Qualcomm QCA9377 chipset, to provide internet access to my second computer (Dell OptiPlex-755, 32-bit machine). The drivers provided by Linksys only support recent Windows operating systems.

  • First of all, the accepted answer is old old old. Second, it is the driver for the PCI version of the device; yours is the USB version and it uses a different driver. Please edit your question to add the result of the terminal command: lsusb. Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Your dmesg indicates that you are missing firmware. With a working internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, open a terminal and do:



sudo apt update && sudo apt install git
git clone -b usb https://github.com/erstrom/ath10k-firmware.git
cd ath10k-firmware/QCA9377/hw1.0
cp firmware-usb-5-wusb6100m.bin firmware-usb-5.bin
sudo cp firmware-usb-5.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0


Edit: Also do:



sudo cp board-2.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0


Reboot and show us:



dmesg | grep ath


EDIT 2: Move the eeprom file to /lib/firmware:



cd ath10k-firmware/QCA9377/hw1.0
sudo cp eeprom_qca9377_7_1p1_Robin_clpc_fcc.bin /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
ln -s eeprom_qca9377_7_1p1_Robin_clpc_fcc.bin board-usb.bin


Reboot and show us:



dmesg | grep ath
