Steam Machine Wi-Fi not working

  • Hi. I've purchased a Steam machine to replace multiple devices, including my HTPC. Among other things I was unable to get 24Hz playback working in Kodi so I installed LibreELEC on an external drive in order to solve my issues. However, I didn't get really far, because the Wi-Fi chipset is not recognized (or at least no visibly so from the GUI). Even though the multibooting experience is not the best I would love to get LibreELEC fully functional on this hardware.

    lspci output from the SteamOS desktop mode:

    Could you help me with this issue?

  • Update to this LE13 test image: https://chewitt.libreelec.tv/testing/LibreE…_64-12.95.1.tar

    It has the ath11k PCI driver enabled so the card should be detected, but will not work due to missing firmware. The system log will normally complain about the missing firmware files and you can add them yourself to get the card working:

    Add Firmware | LibreELEC.wiki
    wiki.libreelec.tv

    If you confirm the card works and what specific firmware files are required I'll submit changes to add them for LE13.
