Qualcomm Atheros Device 0042 (rev 30)

[vagner]

Hi,

Last week I compiled a 4.4-rcX kernel and the dmesg showed me that it 
was trying to load ath10k, but it failed. So, I gave up and installed 
4.3 again. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I hope that the next 4.4 
kernel will bring support for my wireless card.
On the other hand I am waiting for a reply from Pratik Singhal who said 
he was successful in making his wireless card - also in a lenovo ideapad 
- to work using a Windows drive...
By the way, do you know when 4.4-kernel is due?
I am using a Usb wireless and it is very annoying because it heats up in 
few minutes and I have to unplug, wait for it to cool down and plug 
again to get internet access :(

Thx
