I am not sure which issue Günther is trying to solve, but there ath10k firmware crashes for some users: [0] For me the crashes are reproducible even with the latest v5 firmware on a QCA9880-BR4A. However, older and newer ath10k firmware versions are working fine on a QCA9880-2R4E - so it seems that this crash is chip-specific. Regards, Martin [0] https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/19167

What's the newest firmware that still works on your card? Also, please report these issues to the ath10k firmware maintainer. - Felix

I think the latest working version was the newest -2 (10.1 branch). I can look it up when I have access to the device again (probably this weekend). "Reporting to the ath10k firmware maintainer" is done by sending an email to the ath10k mailing list, or what is the preferred way?

We didn't try V5 so far because it was released after we made that patch. I'm going to check V5. Günther

At least until these issues are finally fixed? I already removed the STA fw because it has been obsolete for a long time. I will accept a patch that adds v2 firmware as a fallback until the current one is fixed. Maybe it would also be worth testing the Ben Greear's firmware (the candelatech one) to see if that's a suitable replacement for the old v2 stuff. - Felix

The ath10k firmware version is now a choice in the config menu. Added options for older firmware versions (10.1 and 10.2). It seems that recent firmware versions don't always run properly and this provides the option to select an older (more stable) version instead.
