The ath10k wireless network card is a fairly common card, and comes with Dell systems. It works out of the box on recent Ubuntu live/install images, for instance. However, I have to enable it by hand when using genkernel, and have had issues where I forgot to do this or the setting wasn't imported for some reason, which breaks my wireless and makes me need to run genkernel again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do a new genkernel 2. Search for ath10k module 3. Note that it is not selected (=n) Actual Results: Wireless cards that require ath10k driver do not work Expected Results: ath10k=m should be enabled in genkernel by default so that it works out of the box Maybe I do not understand genkernel very well yet (I only use it on a work machine) but I have had a lot of issues getting this setting to "stick", as every time there is a kernel update I have to manually change ath10k from =n to =m
