F25 + Killer 1535 @ 1mb/s

[InvalidPath]

Fellas, I noticed today, while finally getting to use the Fedora side of my
work laptop, that my wifi is running at 1MB/s on d Dell XPS 13 9550.
According to Dell this model has the Killer AC 1535 wireless chipset so
possibly just a driver issue?

(Yes I know Mint.. the results for later version of Fedora were severely
lacking)

Whats odd is that I Put F25 on the wifes Lenovo just Sunday night to
resolve this exact issue.

Thanks!

I think my issue is an incorrect or missing firmware:

It's interesting that it's looking for the firmware-5.bin file in
the hw3.0 directory, as it doesn't exist there. It DOES exist in the
hw2.1 directory (at least on my F25 system):

Perhaps a simple copy to the 3.0 directory would satisfy it.

Well I extracted those new firmware files into hw2.1, rebooted and had
6mb/s on the 5ghz side.  On the 2.5 though still 1mb/s.  So I copied teh
firmware5 file into hw3.0 so tonight Ill see what shakes with that.

Just relative to this issue, I am using
a driver I have compiled myself 
because there is no native support for my wireless adapter (DWA192). On 
the 5GHz channel I am getting a bit rate of 1.3 Gb/s with a link quality 
of 88/100, which is what that channel is rated at, but on the 2.4 GHz 
channel I only  get 217.6 Mb/s with a link quality of 91/100, even 
though this channel is rated at 600 Mb/s. Under Windows 10 I get a bit 
rate of 525 Mb/s on the 2.4 Ghz channel (the 5 GHz channel gets 1.3 Gb/s 
as well). Is the poor bit rate on the 2.4 GHz channel (I'm on F25) an 
issue with the driver or some other aspect of the environment?

Steve
