Ubuntu Mate 15.10 and earlier versions didn't recognize Killer wireless at all. Ubuntu Mate recognizes Killer wireless (as in can see the networks). This is definitely progress. However, it still cannot connect to WPA/WPA2 protected networks.
I would gladly test the newest kernel, but how can I do it? I have the newest Ubuntu Mate live DVD, have a cable connection to internet and I see the link to deb files. What should I do to test the kernel? Would be great if you can comment here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/758811/testing-the-newest-kernel-without-rebooting Please consider elevating the importance to High. Live CD with Internet incapable distro is a pain on the neck for experienced users and an immediate dealer breaker for newcomers.

It sometimes can detect networks, but cannot connect to WPA protected WIFI. "dmesg | grep ath" shows several thousand of lines "failed to start hw scan: -108". Problem can be fixed by following the steps outlined here: http://www.killernetworking.com/support/knowledge-base/17-linux/20-killer-wireless-ac-in-linux-ubuntu-debian Please include correct board.bin and firmware-?.bin files to Ubuntu Mate 16.04 distro. In my case wifi worked after I deleted board.bin and firmware-4.bin both /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/ and /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/ then copied firmware-5.bin_SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 as firmware-4.bin and firmware-4.bin. Finally, I saved resulting board.bin, firmware-4.bin and firmware-5.bin to both ..../2.1/ and ..../3.0/ folders To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1568635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
