[SOLVED] No wifi adapter in Dell XPS 15 9560 Killer 1535

Hi There,

Always using LiberELEC on my old laptop and PCs.

It's always very easy to use.

Thanks for the great work.

Try to run it from my Dell XPS 15 9560 with a Killer 1535 wireless card.

Install & boot is fine, but not wireless adapter available.

I am good with Linux, would not mind side load/install Firmware to the USB.

Any thing I can try?

Thanks.

30 seconds in Google shows it may have an card that requires the ath10k driver which is not present in LE 8.2.x so load a current Milhouse build and see if that works; it has a newer kernel with the ath10k driver.

Thanks @chewitt.

I downloaded the last from :Index of /builds/next/Generic/

Will give it a try.

May I ask what is the difference between /next and /testing ?

Wrong method.

Since the wifi adapter is the only network device on Dell XPS.

I can't upload the Milhouse.tar file to "Update" folder.

Also try to mount the USB under Debian.

Searched both partitions for the "Update" folder without any luck.

Any suggestion are welcome.

Ethernet ?

The Dell XPS 15 9560 does not come with Ethernet.

Both are experimental builds you most likely do not want

The daily test builds you find below /builds/master

The samba folder "Update" is /.update on the second partition. Please enable showing hidden files in your file manager.

Another option is to use the Kodi File Manager to copy the file from a local device to /storage/.update after enabling the hidden files too: Settings/Appearance - Official Kodi Wiki

thank you mglae.

I upgrade to the [LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0-Milhouse-20180130070242-#0129x-gb72acb8.tar]

Still no Killer wifi adapter available.

Will try Index of /builds/testing/Generic/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.0-Milhouse-20180401171947-#0401b-g0f23407.tar

Next.

The latest [Milhouse-20180401171947-#0401b-g0f23407.tar] works great!

My issue solved!

Thank you very much!
