ath10k is the mac80211 wireless driver for Qualcom Atheros QCA988x family of chips, which support IEEE 802.11ac.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and that's why we had to implement a new driver.
The ath10k driver is located under drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k directory. To easily browse the sources you can access that through github source listing.
ath10k has it's own mailing list for discussions and patches:
