ath10k failed to load pre-cal-pci

**n0r** · 2018-11-03

Hello there, I decided to make a new thread because i cannot find solution on this. I've already read a lot of discussion on kali forum and others, but still cannot fix.
I have problem with my wifi card QCA9377, I already installed firmware and my wifi card can work but still have some errors
dmesg report this for ath10k

Code:

 
[4.293563] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Unknown eventid: 118809
[4.296454] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: Unknown eventid: 90118

while during boot i get this 2

Code:

ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:03:00.0.bin (-2)
ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: firmware: failed to load ath10k/cal-pci-0000:03:00.0.bin

So seems something is missing, also cannot put card into monitor mode (wlan0)
while alfa usb adapter (wlan1) works fine.

output for uname -r

Code:

4.18.0-kali2-amd64

Please help me cause i'm really going crazy.

How do you put it in monitor mode? What are the commands and the outputs?

Sorry for long time took to answer, but couldn't log-in due to bulletin bord problem, anyway this is another story..

Commands i use to put my wifi card into monitor mode are:

Code:

airmon-ng check kill
airmon-ng start wlan0
airodump-ng wlan0mon

aimon-ng check kill output is

Code:

Killing these processes:

  PID Name
 4457 wpa_supplicant

airmon-ng start wlan0 output is

Code:

PHY    Interface    Driver        Chipset

phy2    wlan0        ath10k_pci    Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)

        (mac80211 monitor mode vif enabled for [phy2]wlan0 on [phy2]wlan0mon)
        (mac80211 station mode vif disabled for [phy2]wlan0)

And it's ok, cause as you can see it is disabling station mode and turning on monitor mode for wlan0

airodump-ng wlan0mon output is

Code:

 BSSID              PWR  Beacons    #Data, #/s  CH  MB   ENC  CIPHER AUTH ESSID
                                                                                                   
                                                                                                   
 BSSID              STATION            PWR   Rate    Lost    Frames  Probe

So its not showing anything, no AP.

even if i use aireplay-ng -9 wlaqn0mon to inject packets nothing happen and this is its output

Code:

11:55:03  Trying broadcast probe requests...
11:55:04  No Answer...
11:55:04  Found 0 APs

while under airodump interface appear this

Code:

 BSSID              STATION            PWR   Rate    Lost    Frames  Probe                         
                                                                                                   
 (not associated)   00:3C:29:A9:A4:66    0    0 - 1      0        1                                 
 (not associated)   00:FD:AF:1C:DD:40    0    0 - 1      0        1                                 
 (not associated)   00:95:3C:C2:74:6F    0    0 - 1      0        1

So actually im little bit confused, even if i try using Linset/Fluxion cannot get anything as response, and depending from the Fluxion version sometimes i get that my wifi card isnt supported. but with the same pc using another distro (Parrot security OS by example) i can get it to work.

this is output fo lspci

What does 'rfkill list all' report? If there are no blocks, then I have no idea and I would recommend reproducing the issue with debian testing (no need for airodump-ng stuff but you can mention it) then reporting it to debian.

Hello, i already checked before make this thread, my QCA9377 had no block. But most probably is everythibg around firmware, because in managed mode it works fine, but turning it into monitor mode seems that it is enabled bit cannot capture anything. By the way i bought an intel dual band ac 8265 and i made a test with that card and everything is working. The strange part is that on Parrot security os my QCA9377 works fine even in monitor mode and i did not need to install firmware, really strange cause kali and parrot are both debian based!

**Mister_X** · 2018-11-14

Parrot probably has an older kernel and thus an older driver that didn't require those files.

You can check out linux-wireless mailing list archive, there might be some stuff related to those file in there.

i also have same issue my wifi card work fine in the kali version 2017.1 but in later versions it does not working the only result i get is same as n0r's issue please help i have been searching for the cure for a while.
