  • @DavidFoerster There is no WindowsXP driver for this adapter and it is not needed.

These are now working thanks to the work of Bartosz Markowski and his kernel patch and the testing by dr-cono

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf
wget http://filebin.ca/2LVgpjSgiT56/backports-ath-2015-11-05.tar.bz2
unzip backports-ath-2015-11-05.tar.bz2
cd backports-ath10k-2015-11-05
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ath10k/ /lib/firmware/
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/QCA9377 /lib/firmware/ath10k/
cp firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin

Reboot

Edit: There has been a recent change to the kvalo github site and the sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ath10k/ /lib/firmware/ is no longer valid or needed
