Report Firmware firmware-2.bin_10.1.467.2-1 Error

[Vu Hai NGUYEN]

Thank you for your response, the problem is solved when I download the latest version of backport (3.15) and compile ath10k with it (last time my version is 3.13 and as you said, It might not include the patch).
Now I can load the firmware 10.1.467.2-1 but I get new problem too.
Does ath10k support all the command of "iw"?
For example I set up mode access point and tried to change the txpower by the command: "iw wlan0 set txpower fixed 1200" (same thing as "iwconfig wlan0 txpower 12dBm" , right?)
The output of "iwconfig" is:
wlan0     IEEE 802.11abgn  Mode:Master  Tx-Power=12 dBm                         
          Retry short limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off                  
          Power Management:on  

And output of "dmesg":
ath10k: mac config power 12                                                     
ath10k: wmi pdev set param 3 value 24                                           
ath10k: wmi pdev set param 4 value 24 

It seems that the command arrives until the level of driver ath10k and works but when I verified by connecting a station to my access point and look at the out put of "iw wlan0 station dump", the value of txpower received at the station didn't change even when I changed the txpower of my access point from 1dBm to 20dBm (my station is near the access point).

Same thing when I do with the command set bit rates: "iw wlan0 set bitrates legacy-2.4 54 ht-mcs-2.4"

Out put of dmesg:
ath10k: mac fixed rate pream 0x00 nss 0x00 rate 0x04                            
ath10k: wmi vdev id 0x0 set param 27 value 4                                    
ath10k: wmi vdev id 0x0 set param 34 value 1                                    
ath10k: wmi vdev id 0x0 set param 28 value 0                                    
ath10k: wmi event debug mesg len 16  

But the out put of " iw wlan0 station dump" did not show any change when I varied the bit rate of my access point too. 

Do you guys have any suggestion about it?
Thanks in advance :)

The patch below should fix it. I suspect you don't have that.

    ath10k: fix the printing of 10.x FW version when FW crashed

    10.x FW has no structure member sw_version_1. Thus,
    both fw_version_release and fw_version_build are not
    available. The provided fw_version_major is also wrong.
    Fix this by using the fw_version from struct wiphy.
