I have qualcomm 0042 and i can not get wifi work. Please help me

This is what i find but that post is old and links dont work:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) git
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...0151120.tar.gz
tar zxvf backports-20151120.tar.gz
cd backports-20151120
make defconfig-wifi
make
sudo make install
git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/QCA9377 /lib/firmware/ath10k/
sudo cp /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin

$ apt-file list firmware-atheros

Code:

...
firmware-atheros: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board-2.bin
firmware-atheros: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board.bin
firmware-atheros: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin
...

Why manually install it when it's part of a distro. At least part of debian stable.

$ ip link show

If you have an interface that starts with "w", then you have wifi. Which doesn't mean it works or works well, but it has a driver, enough of one to show an interface to the system.

# dmesg | grep -i firmware

If it's missing firmware it should complain there.

Didn't stop you from reopening it and hijacking it with your own question.

...and did you read the Question Guidelines? Saying "dont work" but not telling us ANYTHING else (like brand/model of your card, what kind of computer, version/distro of Linux, etc.), is fairly pointless.

As Shadow_7 said, it's probably already installed, but you don't tell us what you've done/tried to come to the conclusion that it doesn't work. Provide details.

Unsurprisingly, copied and pasted commands from the web, which you neither study nor read, but still attempt to execute, often don't work... In this case there is a truncated URL being passed to wget(1).

(The intended URL seems to be: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/11/20/backports-20151120.tar.gz)

I suggest you verify that device firmware is actually installed, as per post #2.
