    Exclamation qualcomm atheros QCA6174 firmware/driver problems... Please help...

    1at sorry for my bad english.
    Since my last 11 days in reserching i guess the problem is the firmware/driver.
    let's explain from the beginning,i'm using kali linux and wifi is working well but when i try to scan the nears AP with aircrack no matter how much i wait he founds nothing. In fact there are a lot of problems with my firmware as u can see :
    Code:
    dmesg|grep 'ath\|firmw'
    response
    Code:

    i already cloned a lot of updated firmware. but when i try to use them seems like i'm missing somthing. when i open the terminal in the directory and i type "make" since there is a makefile in it it says "nothing to be done for "all", can someone PLEASE help me to update the firmware, or suggest another solution... i really don't know what else can i do...
    thanks for the attention.

    the hardware is a piece of junk. If you can replace it by something else, do so.

    Have you installed the firmware-atheros package? If not, you might want to remove the firmwares you've added manually before installing the package. If that still doesn't work, replace the card by something else.
