I'm having issues with trying to get the wifi adapter to work in this laptop. I've tried installing backport-iwlwifi and also updating kernel version to 5.10 (had to reset back to 5.8) but no luck, also seems like all solutions for Qualcom Atheros don't work either.

How to get ath11k driver working on Ubuntu?

You need to compile a custom kernel with ath11k support.

How to in wireless.wiki.kernel.org: Installing ath11k

As of this writing (December 2020) Linux distributions do not support QCA6390 PCI devices out of box, so you need to install kernel and firmware manually. Here are simple instructions how to install Linux kernel v5.10 with ath11k PCI support and latest ath11k firmwares.

  • Hello @GAD3R, following the guide I can only see atheros ath10k support when I run make menuconfig
