To make matters worst, I can't follow the instructions for Ubuntu to get it working since it requires pulling the driver source over the internet, which is the entire problem, along with running out of space on the USB ramdisk if I try to install linux-headers and clang and all other dependancies to build it by mounting my Windows partition and copying the source from that.
Googling around only bring up links about how to get it working with Ubuntu via backports, and that the necessary drivers were merged with ath10k for 4.0+ here, so I'm not sure why it doesn't currently work with the installation media which is 4.3.3. Unfortunately, the adapter doesn't seem to be support. I got an Acer E5-573G laptop for Christmas, and have been trying to get Arch working on it off and on for a while now.
