On some models, they included only a single antenna, and miscoded the EEPROM to indicate that that antenna was attached to the other connector. It has been encountered by many users as shown in the Issues associated with the referenced GitHub repo. The ant_sel module parameter was added to the driver in kernel 4.7 specifically to handle this one condition. The only other fix is to open the machine and move the antenna cable to the other connector; however, there are reports that doing this breaks the Windows driver. The GitHub repo was created to backport upstream changes like this so that users of earlier kernels would have access to new features. In this case, it seems to have worked as intended. In short, this work around was devised to correct a HARDWARE misconfiguration, and I am not aware of any better solution. In any case, it is not a software bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
