whatever you do, if you are dualbooting, do not use these drivers. for some reason, if you put them in the firmware file like the guide says, when you reboot, it deletes the whole dualboot partition.

At this point, it looks like kvalo's ath10k-firmware repo just needs to be pulled in. Speaking of which, that repo contains a folder for the QCA6174, but not for the QCA6164. The firmware in the QCA6174 folder works for the QCA6164; I still find it strange. I'm not sure how well the actual QCA6174 [168c:003e] firmware works. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO GET THIS CARD TO WORK: As of February 26, 2016, this has become very simple. I'm unsure of what version kernel you need to be using - it's either at least 4.0 or at least 4.2. I'm currently using 4.4.3. If the kernel you have isn't working, try that one. 1) Get the latest firmware from https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k- firmware/archive/master.zip 2) Unzip this file, and copy the ath10k folder's contents to /lib/firmware/ath10k. 3) Reboot your computer. Run "lshw -C network" to see if your card is recognized. If you created a "/lib/modprobe.d/ath10k.conf" file earlier to disable otp, you can remove it. I did, and the card still works fine.
