Hi,
If you don't mind, I'd like ask a few questions regarding QCA6174 firmwares.
1. I've notice that QCA6174 hw3.0 4.4.1 firmwares have 4 versions (none, c1, c2, c3). Are there any differences? Which one is newest or correct?
2. My QCA6174 seems to have a compatibility issue with a recent firmware. I've tested theses firmware versions, but only the oldest one works.
RM.4.4.1.c2-00057-QCARMSWP-1 (debian oldstable's stock firmware, 20190114-2, work's fine):
