Could use some help here. I am running Bionic Beaver 18.04 in VirtualBox before I do a full install on my laptop.... I can't seem to get the bluetooth or wifi to work? I have tried the below to no avail. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1174624

Killer manuf site says it uses the ath10k driver....but doesn't seem to work or recognize it https://www.killernetworking.com/driver-downloads/kb/faq/1-killer-1535-1525-1435-in-ubuntu-debian

I have tried the lsusb and it recognizes my ethernet port but that's it. Any ideas?

    You can't test Wifi on Virtualbox.

  • Well, now I feel like an idiot - how do I do this running ubuntu? Jul 30, 2018 at 12:36
  • Boot from LiveUSB and test. ath10k should work without any issues. Boot from the installer and select "Try Ubuntu".

Quite an old post but I'm struggling with this network card (1435) too and can only advise people with the same card to change it if possible. It has very bad performances on Linux. The driver can be found at https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware in the QCA6174 folder. There are many firmwares to try out. I could not find one that doesn't crash or has good performance uploading files. The upload with this card is really slow. Really slow!

To load the module in the command line I have to:

sudo modprobe ath10k_pci
sudo modprobe ath10k_core

Although this is not an ideal solution, this will load the driver. I thought it might be helpful to someone having problems with this network card.

    This is not a thread, and your post is not an answer.
