+Step 2.A — Source Code
+Clone kernel source code with the latest changes for the driver
+```
+git clone -b master https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git
+
+Step 2.B — Clone firmware
+```
+git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware.git
+```
+
+Part 2 — Copy and Organize
+Step 1 — Make a home for the new firmware
+To do so we are going to make a directory for the new firmware inside the root `/lib/` directory
+```
+sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/
+```
+
+Step 2 — Copy
+Here we are copying any file with a .bin extension into the directory we just added.
+```
+sudo cp ~/ath11k-firmware/QCA6390/hw2.0/1.0.1/WLAN.HST.1.0.1-01740-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1/*.bin /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/
+```
+
+Here we are copying the board-2.bin
+```
+sudo cp ~/ath11k-firmware/QCA6390/hw2.0/board-2.bin /lib/firmware/ath11k/QCA6390/hw2.0/board-2.bin
+```
+
+PART 3 — The makefile
+Step 1 - the make menu
+First , move into the ~/ath directory
+```
+cd ~/ath
+``
+Then, Once inside the ~/ath/ directory run:
+```
+make menuconfig
+```
+
+Step 2- configure the make file.
+Using the arrow keys to navigate, and the return/enter key to toggle into the sub-menus and toggle the activation. Navigate to:
+Device Drivers →
+Network device support →
+Wireless LAN →
+Qualcomm Technologies 802.11ax chipset support →
+Toggle on anything with the `ath11k` in it. Now with all those activated, look at the bottom of the screen, look for save. You should be able to tab to it. then hit enter, then exit until your back in the terminal. Next we can make the file and the modules, then install them.
+Step 4- `sudo make -j$(nproc)`
+will use all available CPU cores when making the file. if you want you can run `echo $(nproc)` and see how many core that will be.
+```
+sudo make -j$(nproc)
+```
+# Install kernel modules 
+```
+sudo make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install -j$(nproc)
+```
+Step 5— Install
+Here use my 16 available cores. Be sure not to add a space between the -j and the $(nproc).
+```
+sudo make install -j$(nproc)
+```
+Step 6 —Reboot
+```
+sudo reboot now
+```
