    154157      * Silex suggests to use the Qualcomm LEA Driver contained in the Silex Dev Kit software image
    155158      * Ath11k Open Source driver (ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1) is another option and requires firmware binary under NDA with Silex

    157159     * Preliminary testing shows 6.1 or newer kernel is required & a signed board-2.bin file needs to be placed in the /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1 folder on a running target. This would be using the ath11k open source driver. Silex however recommends using Qualcomm’s LEA driver built using Silex's instructional PDF.
