Created attachment 1230370 [details] camera shot of failing to load firmware-5.bin Description of problem: Not all tests pass [OK] when computer boots. When computer boots, i receive a message saying [4.982195] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not fetch firmware file 'ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin': -2 My wireless so far works 100% just fine. In fact I believe this error might be the cause of a simple typo, since I checked my /lib/firmware/ath10k/hw3.0/ folder, and there is a firmware-4.bin file there. Is my wireless adapter falling back on using the firmware-4.bin when it doesn't find firmware-5.bin? My wireless adapter is the Killer 1535 802.11ac on the new Razer Blade Stealth 2016 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Kernel 4.8.12 How reproducible: Hardware dependent, but if you boot with the new kernel and have the same wireless adapter as me, you most likely are getting this message. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: All [OK] on boot Additional info:
If your wireless is working 100% this is almost certainly not a bug. Often the drivers in the kernel will try multiple firmware versions and then fall back as you suggested. If you have concerns about the latest firmware being present, please check the linux-firmware tree at https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git,
