So write some drivers :) BTW, The Qualcomm wifi chipset is a BLESSING and considering the Surface Go is < 1 month old i'm sure its only a matter of time before

So write some drivers :) BTW, The Qualcomm wifi chipset is a BLESSING and considering the Surface Go is < 1 month old i'm sure its only a matter of time before open source drivers improve for it.

> So write some drivers :) Uh, I (and you, and everyone except Qualcomm) cannot do that. ath10k drivers are inherently broken without a proprietary firmware because "blah blah 802.11ac blah blah" waves hands around The atheros chip in that microsoft thing has been around for quite a while.

>The atheros chip in that microsoft thing has been around for quite a while. Nope. The atheros chip is new, every single surface device used MARVEL and MARVEL was total crap - always having issues connecting, flaky drivers, poor standby experience. The surface go is the first device to not use marvel and i hope the next Pro's and Surface Laptops go atheros. https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

> So write some drivers This old adage has never made sense to me. Not everyone can write software (let alone device drivers).
