It seems the Thinkpad E470 comes with different Atheros 10k based
chipsets, and this one had a QCA9377. It seems the brand name is
Atheros Killer N1525 Wireless-AC , but I am not 100% sure. Support
for the QCA9377 Wlan was only recently added to various
distributions, as far as I know you need at least a kernel 4.8.
However even then the Wifi connection drops randomly. Googling
revealed that this is apparently a common bug (link in German).
Which in this case I did, e.g. this compatibility test (link in German),
but they apparently missed that bug in the test. Note that the
Thinkapd E470 is also Ubuntu certified. I guess that says a lot about
the value of such kind of certification program.

I will probably buy an intel wifi card as well. It would be super helpful if you
can share some tips on how to configure the intel wifi card. I dont know
much about linux internals.

no need to configure anything in Linux. Just plug the new card in and
everything should work without any configuration.
