| Summary | 0001021: Please provide kmod-ath10k for EL7 | ||||
| Description | Could you please try to backport the ath10k driver as kmod for kernel 3.10.1127 ? TIA | ||||
| Additional Information | Yesterday I had to fiddle with a Lenovo IdeaPad 520-15IKB laptop which was running CentOS 7.8 fully updated. However the wireless interface ( identified as needing the ath10k module as driver ) did not function either with stock CentOS kernel or with kernel-lt 4.4.229 . I had to install kernel-ml 5.7.8 in order to have functional wireless. As a sidenote, the realtek driver included in 5.7.8 ( r8169) did not work , I had to download and build from sources their r8168 :) | ||||

There is a native ath10k driver in el7.8. I can try building one from the vanilla kernel (linux-5.3 is used for the wireless backport in el7.8) to see if it's an issue with the RHEL driver. I'll post back here when I have a package for you to test. |

I know that there is a native driver, that's what I tried to use for the first hour of experiments. But it does not work properly, it logs something like ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: unable to read from the device and the interface is not created. Given that RHEL 7 is already in maintenance mode, I doubt RH will spend time fixing it. |

Hi Wolfy, Unfortunately the kernel-5.3.18 source does not build cleanly (below) as there are missing bits from RH's backport of the wireless stack. I'll see if I can backport the missing bits to get the driver to build. Might take a while.
