In the log I get: $ journalctl -x -o cat | awk '/ath10k/ && /[Ee]rror/' ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:04:00.0.bin failed with error -2 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/cal-pci-0000:04:00.0.bin failed with error -2 ath10k_pci 0000:04:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board-2.bin failed with error -2 Can anyone tell me what the first two firmwares are for and where I can find them? Should I care about the missing board-2.bin? Thanks for any help. 1) https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware -- John Doe
