KQualcomm
KWifi & Bluetooth, same module
Fhow do I even begin to install a kernel patch, lol
Kthat is a rabbit hole with many answers
Fwhere are the kernel files, btw?
Fin etc/?
Kheaders are in /usr/include if you have the kernel headers package installed
Ksource is available in numerous locations, your distro likely has it's own
Fah ok
Fso theoretically, can I just drop these board.bin files in the /lib/firmare/ath11k/hw2.1/... folders?
F
Kyes, but without the kernel patches they won't do anything
CThe AMD APU is paired with a Qualcomm network adapter built into the motherboard..?
Kon the LCD deck the wifi is a separate chip soldered onto the board
Fah ok, so may I ask how to install a kernel patch (or resources to learn how to do this?)
Klikely the same here
Falso, why does the kernel need to be patched?
FThe .bin files for teh wifi chip remind me of dynamic libraries in a way, shouldn't they just be plugins?
Kthe hardware is new, without those patches it doesn't even know to load the correct firmware files
CAhhh, I see
Fahh ok
FWell, this will be an interesting project for the weekend
Kthose changes will definitely get upstreamed
Kwith time
Fi guess I just need to get red up on how to do a kernel patch
Kit just hasn't happened yet, so for now we have to patch it in
Fah ok
Fany resources on how to patch a kernel?
Ti was going to make documentation about automatically mounting a secondary drive based on this thread, but then I read the thread and I'm kind of confused because it sounds like they did everything correct yet their drive doesn't seem to appear in Game Mode.... ok i give up lol. i should make a document eventually on mounting secondary drives with GNOME Disks and KDE Parititon Manager though. gn bazzite chat
FMaking a kernel seems suspiciously simple
FF@KyleGospo Has that kernel patch and firmware been tested for functionality?
Feven at this early state?
KSteamOS is the test, the sources I sent are SteamOS's source
Kworks there 
Fah
Fhmm
Fso it shohuld work in my GNOME distro then, perhaps?
FI just need to drop the bin files in the right folder..
Fand the run the patch
Fok, but im still a bit confused on how to actulaly get the patch data
KI sent you a series of commits, you'll apply these against your distro's kernel source
Kbuild the kernel
Kand install your custom built kernel
Knot gonna be easy, but there's lots of resources out there
PI've been using kde. Are gnome extensions prone to breaking on gnome updates? I had one machine on gnome and I think it wasn't just an automatic thing for gnome extensions to update. And does dolphin work well in gnome?
Kdolphin the emulator or dolphin the file browser?
Kthey can break between updates, most recent one broke every single extension in the interest of future compatibility
PFile browser
