Question about `ath12k` driver error with Qualcomm QCN9274 chipset: qmi failed to load board data file:-2
I am trying to use a Qualcomm QCN9274 (Compex WLE7002E25) Wi-Fi card on my x86 machine, but it's not working with the ath12k driver. I am using the official board-2.bin from the upstream repository...

RedPacket SecurityCVE Alert: CVE-2020-36979 - Atheros - Coex Service Application - https://www.redpacketsecurity.com/cve-alert-cve-2020-36979-atheros-coex-service-application/

nickbeardedTried running BashCore live USB on an old Acer Aspire One D160 (2009) as a minimal home server (VPS-style).
Everything worked… until the Atheros Wi-Fi chip (ath9k) crashed the system in a loop.
Not BashCore’s fault — just unreliable legacy hardware.
Blacklisting the driver solved it. 👊
BashCore proves itself again:
💡 Lightweight
⚙️ Transparent
💻 Runs even on decade-old machines.

If anyone has run into issues with the Atheros device drivers preventing their system from suspending correctly I'd be interested to hear about it.
In my case it's a negatively unbalanced coin toss as to whether the system will actually suspend cleanly. It more often attempts to suspend about three times (I hear disks spinning down and up) then drops back to the lock screen.
The journal always points to the device driver completely losing its mind.
Astro#Atheros pivots from usable WiFi chips to AI? Dislike.
AliveDevilPlease send help. (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9550)

@pmdj don't #intel's wireless-ax chips offer that?
Cuz they just work flawlessly on #Linux.
I'm not shure if #FreeBSD even got #80211ac support running.
Last time I checked they only supported the old #Atheros chips and could barely do dual-band #80211n.
In fact, the #WiFi chip on the #PS5 & #PS4 are dedicaded #SoC's that act like a USB 3.0-Ethernet Adapter and barely expose any managment interface.
