I am trying to use a Qualcomm QCN9274 (compex WLE7002E25) module on my Jetson Orin Nano.

I know this qualcomm wifi module need the ath12k driver, but I can’t seem to find it in the default system(5.15). dmesg and lsmod show nothing related to it.
do you know how to install or enable the ath12k driver on the Orin Nano?

Hi,
Please check with the vendor what kernel configs have to be enabled for the module. And follow developer guide to enable them and rebuild kernel. Please refer to
Kernel Customization — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide

did you try update your kernel to 6.9.9 or newer？

Hi,due to compatibility reasons, I’m tied to version 5.15. Is it possible to get ath12k running on this kernel with orin nano?

if you want to stay on kernel 5.15, you should use backport

I think you could try this:

this can work on x86 platform,but I think its also can work on nvidia platform too,
but I am not sure is its have other compiling issues.
