This device is not supported in tumbleweed. The now released 2016.03.01 ISO contains the 4.4.1 kernel.Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)
After adding the firmware you could try installing the module and see if the interface is detected. You should be able to build a module compatible with the current install media. After install you would have the 4.4 kernel and would just need to place board.bin and firmware-5.bin in the correct location.Īlternatively from the virtual box install use Archiso to create a new install media based upon the 4.4 kernel and with the firmware already installed ( I have no experience with this )Īs a third alternative you could downgrade the kernel on the virtual box install to match the kernel on the install media. … 9#p1591119 appears to indicate how you can increase the amount of space allocated to the overlay of the boot media.ĭo you have an alternate internet connection you could use during the installation process as that would probably be easiest. Is there anything I could do to try and get the ath10k_pci driver working if the installation media ships with the driver already, or an ETA for when Arch will merge the support in?Īpologies I missed you stating you are using the 4.3.3 kernel. I suspect not, since the VM is running 4.4.1 Right now I'm just using Arch in a VirtualBox VM, but I'm not sure if I built it from source in that and copied it out if I would be able to install the driver first to the installation media and later to the installed image.
To make matters worst, I can't follow the instructions for Ubuntu to get it working since it requires pulling the driver source over the internet, which is the entire problem, along with running out of space on the USB ramdisk if I try to install linux-headers and clang and all other dependancies to build it by mounting my Windows partition and copying the source from that. Googling around only bring up links about how to get it working with Ubuntu via backports, and that the necessary drivers were merged with ath10k for 4.0+ here, so I'm not sure why it doesn't currently work with the installation media which is 4.3.3. Unfortunately, the adapter doesn't seem to be support. I got an Acer E5-573G laptop for Christmas, and have been trying to get Arch working on it off and on for a while now.
