QCA6174 hw2.1?

[Moritz Morawietz]

Many thanks for your fast help!

I've made some progress, but ran into other problems.
If i compile ath10_pci, ath10k_core and ath from kvalo's tree and load
them, i get following dmesg output:

[    2.980448] ath10k_pci 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

[    4.430097] ath10k_pci 0000:06:00.0: could not register to mac80211 (-22)

So I compiled mac80211, and tried to load it. What i get is a load of
that messages:

[  226.812494] mac80211: Unknown symbol cfg80211_cqm_rssi_notify (err -22)
[  226.812497] mac80211: disagrees about version of symbol cfg80211_auth_timeout
[  226.812497] mac80211: Unknown symbol cfg80211_auth_timeout (err -22)
[  226.812498] mac80211: disagrees about version of symbol
cfg80211_rx_unprot_mlme_mgmt
[  226.812499] mac80211: Unknown symbol cfg80211_rx_unprot_mlme_mgmt (err -22)

Because mac80211 depends on cfg80211, i compilied and tested it. The
error messages reduced to

[  632.208849] mac80211: Unknown symbol rhashtable_insert_rehash (err 0)
[  632.208881] mac80211: Unknown symbol rhashtable_insert_slow (err 0)

Know I'm stuck. I'll try to compile and use the whole kernel (it's
compiling right now), but would prefer to just change the modules.

The firmware-4.bin is assembled like described in this thread, as
board.bin i used eeprom_qca9377_1p0_NFA435_olpc.bin.

Any Ideas? :)

Happy greetings
Moritz
