OK. The "modinfo -F" command you gave me returns a list of files:

ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board.bin
ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-6.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-5.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/firmware-4.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-2.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-5.bin
ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/firmware-4.bin
ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/board-2.bin
ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/board.bin
ath10k/QCA9887/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board-2.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-5.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-4.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-3.bin
ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/firmware-2.bin

but not all these files exist in the updated firmware build I downloaded
as per Kai-Heng Feng's instructions above. And in the directory you had
me check are only *.ko files. So I'm not sure what to replace with what
here.

Sorry, guys, but the last time I built my own kernel was on Slackware
Linux 1.18 in 1994 (if memory serves) and the current structure and
organization of the various kernel components is a little beyond me. I'm
eager to do whatever you need me to do to provide you with the data you
need in order to find out what the problem is, but I'm going to need a
little bit of hand-holding here. Sorry to be a pain but I'm not at all
sure how to proceed at this point to install the updated kernel and
firmware modules you need me to try.

Any further advise would be appreciated!
