Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174

[BSDUser]

Hi guys,
I switched to Linux because the hardware below was not recognized yet.

Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter

Now, after 2 years, I'm wondering because it's not working yet.
Someone can tell me the work status about that?

Best regards

You could ask on freebsd-wireless mailing list about the current state. Adrian does attend the list frequently.

One off-topic comment about 802.11ac.

Newer Intel Wireless adapters with 802.11ac are now working in FreeBSD 13, I think they only run at 802.11n mode though.

Truthfully I have given up on ath10k on FreeBSD. If it ever happens I will buy newer 802.11ac gear. I have focused on 802.11n.
It is fast enough for my web browsing.

Adrian answer that is actively working on it...therefore, at the moment, nothing yet.
To be honest, if i have to change my wireless card then I prefer stay on Linux. I hope can come back in the future.
