Well well. Did you try downloading that on your system. That's the only

Thanks

Hello Brandon,

Oh, sure. This's Fedora 23, uname -r output is: 4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64

and cat /etc/system-release output is: Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three)

I also have the original distro kernel as a fallback at boot menu.

This's a brand new Lenovo Yoga 700 with an nVidia Optimus that I can't also
get working.

I need the wifi badly. It took me couple of weeks to sort things out.

thanks guys

Have you visited: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/

Usually I find everything I need there about getting particular
wireless devices to work (or find that it is hopeless :-).

Sure I did to no avail. Or maybe I don't have much experience. I don't
know, that's the reason I posted this.

Hey Gelle,
Please stop top posting - it is rather annoying to most mailing list users.

Here is your driver:

thanks jd1008,

Sorry, I thought you new there was only one public download that wasn't
working. I'll try this although I thought the file should have been a Linux
archive. I'll see if Brandon comes up with another link. Sorry again, for
my frustration.

Regards,

Another wifi solution is simply to get one of the
cheap USB wifi dongles and give up on the native
wifi. Vast numbers of the readily available USB
adapters are supported natively in linux (of
course, murphy's law dictates that the first one you
buy won't be supported :-).

Not easily with this Laptop. Of course, I made one work after disabling a
core module that runs the whole Yoga laptop features which wasn't safe. I
tried everything I could.
But I'm now feeling Happy and hopeful. Thanks all

Please try my prior solution first, but if the wireless card continues
to fail to register, try the following:

Download https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=196391
Overwrite /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin with the downloaded file.

Might be a bug with the firmware being shipped in the repositories.

I followed your steps and those in the README. no success - just a couple
of compat kernels listed on grub2. The only thing that I didn't do is the
install_for_kernel_4.4-rc2.sh. Are the instructions on this site still
valid:  http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-305292.html ?

thanks

Let's try using the latest backport drivers from upstream.

dnf group install "Development Tools"
dnf install kernel-devel
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v4.3/backp...
tar -zxvf backports-4.3.1.tar.gz
cd backports-4.3.1
make defconfig-ath10k
make
sudo make install

Reboot the system and see if you wireless card starts to work.
