Hi all, in case anyone is having difficulties getting their wifi to work on this laptop, here's how I solved the problem. Thanks again to stevepusser and bw123 for helping me out with my HDMI/Vega issues, which I then applied to this problem.
First off update hardware ID database:
Run lspci. Find out the name/model of the wireless device:
Code: Select all
04:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)
Google Debian firmware for the model number. The specific device is listed here:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/firmware-atheros
Download the firmware, dpkg -i it.
Reboot and enjoy
