I am also having issues with 5.2 kernel and wifi. When the machine

It appears that the 5.2 kernel breaks a lot of stuff. It will probably
take a few days to get it straightened out.
Strictly, the 5.2 kernel headers break compilation on a lot of
stuff. This seems to be unrelated.
I'll note that wifi is a part of BLFS and not LFS but if the kernel is
the problem, then both book are affected. Can you check if the wired
interface has a problem? I don't have a test build for 5.2 at the
moment. I'll do that later today.

wifi card is ok with ubuntu, and Win10. However, remember I started having
problems with the 4.20 kernel and wifi, that was when you said your running
Intel and since I'm on a Ryzen and you couldn't help. BTW I never got the
4.20 to work, it was missing module source for ath, the rest of the modules
for ath9k showed up and I gave up at that point.
I should note that this build is the current development run starting the
13th.
If you don't have wired ethernet available on this machine, I
suggest looking at the ubuntu system : check which modules related
to atheros are loaded (also, what they pull in). And then check the
ubuntu kernel source - it might be that the code for your variant of
atheros hardware is not upstream.
For laptops, as I maybe said to you earlier, the particular chips
used in the machine for things like wifi change frequently - a
"similar" machine from a month earlier, or later, might need
different linux drivers. This is nothing to do with ryzen vs intel,
I'm writing this on a 2500u laptop.
And unfortunately, the wifi instructions in BLFS can be a bit
sketchy. On this machine I eventually got wpa_supplicant working
for my home network (only) by following instructions from the Arch
wiki - I have wired ethernet available on this machine (when the
connector doesn't fall out!) so I do not automatically start either
ethernet or wifi on boot. I do have nm-applet installed in xfce, but
at this point I haven't managed to get it to work. Summary: wifi on
BLFS can be a pain point, and the solutions are probably specific to
individual machines.

You misunderstand, the wifi does come up IF I give it about 90 seconds
and then hit CNTL+ALT it comes up instantly and I get the login prompt.
I found this through frustration, after 5 min I tried to switch ttys and
noticed this.
You have posted links to 2 patches, will they work with 5.2.1 ? Better
yet I'll make a backup of what I've got and then try them . Since
patching has so many variables (starting locations), can you walk me
through it. Like which directory should I be in, and the command with
swithes. I tried to patch once from the linux source directory, but the
command ended with the questiion "file name?" I exited right then and
went on to start X install, got half way through and the power went
out. I'm using ssh from my laptop so I have the web page. Kern log
shows only the delay with wifi finishing the startup.
