AndyP, it looks like you do have a different card.  Your card has the
PCI ID of 168c:0042, while the QCA6164 has the PCI ID of 168c:0041.

According to http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=305292, your
card is the QCA9377.  There's an open bug report for it at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1484159, but I
think the following should work.

Your "modinfo ath10k_pci" output doesn't list the QCA9377 firmware
files, but they are listed when *I* run this command.  I have no idea
when support for the card was added, but it's supported in 4.5 (what I'm
running).  It might be supported in backports somewhere, but the
following should be simpler:

1) Install kernel 4.5.  There's a guide at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds.

2) Assuming you downloaded the firmware as explained in the above guide, you 
have to rename just one file like this:
    cd /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/
    sudo mv firmware-5.bin_WLAN.TF.1.0-00267-1 firmware-5.bin

If those steps worked for you, I'd put them in the bug report for the
QCA9377.  Good luck!
