Hello all,
I attempted to upgrade to f38 yesterday, and upon trying to restart and upgrade, my wifi adapter is no longer found. I’ve read through some other posts of similar issues but wasn’t able to determine a path forward.
I’m now using ethernet just fine but I’m also not able to complete the f38 upgrade now. Upon rebooting, it spins for a long time and just boots back into f37. I’ve booted into grub and see 3 kernel versions but not sure where to go from here.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

QCA6390 should be supported by the ath11k_pci
module provided by Fedora. lspci -ds 6c:00.0 -vv
should show a subsystem ID as with my BCM4360:

Firmware has been problematic for this card. Look for firmware errors in dmesg and journalctl. See: ath11k-firmware on github for the current details.
