Help needed!! Maybe one of you can help with my Wireless Card Firmware/Driver

[Benjamin258456]

This is the error I'm getting wireless card works. I've been at this all night.

I was thinking of just pointing the wireless kernal and module to ath and i915 instead of ath10k_pci. Though I'm not sure if that would be the solution.

[Mister_X]

Do the firmware files mentioned in the log exist? If not, install the firmware. It should be either linux-firmware or firmware-atheros. Something like that. Search using apt-cache.

[Benjamin258456]

the file do not exist even is the firmware files that your guiding me to download i already checked both. I probably need to check the driver. ath10_pci file source.
