Is the module ath10k_pci listed in lsmod?
Do you see any errors/hints in dmesg?

I just installed CentOS 7.7 on a machine using this WiFi card and I am experiencing the same issue.

My card is listed under lspic and lshw:

Code: Select all

$ sudo lshw -C network

  *-network                 
       description: Network controller
       product: QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
       vendor: Qualcomm Atheros
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
       version: 31
       width: 64 bits
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
       configuration: driver=ath10k_pci latency=0
       resources: irq:134 memory:b4200000-b43fffff
And the drivers are shown here from lsmod:

Code: Select all

$ lsmod | grep ath10k

ath10k_pci             47418  0 
ath10k_core           325711  1 ath10k_pci
ath                    33542  1 ath10k_core
mac80211              718956  1 ath10k_core
cfg80211              632335  3 ath,mac80211,ath10k_core
Does this information shed light on any issues? I can give more output if needed.

lsmod returns

Code: Select all

lsmod|grep ath
ath10k_pci             47418  0 
ath10k_core           325711  1 ath10k_pci
ath                    33542  1 ath10k_core

cfg80211              632335  3 ath,mac80211,ath10k_core

hmm.... dmesg indicates some error

Same here. If anyone knows the solution, please share. My laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 330, wifi card also Atheros QCA9377. Everything worked fine before latest update.

edit:
Thank you Dennis. I didn't see your post yesterday. Removing firmware-6.bin and notice_ath10k_firmware-6.txt worked! Yeaaah:))
