We have a few machines with a Qualcomm QCA9377 chipset that have been working as access points on blue0 via hostapd. However, I updated two machines to Core 142 last night, and now neither has a blue0 interface, and this is what I see in the bootlog:
[ 6.905147] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for ath10k/pre-cal-pci-0000:02:00.0.bin failed with error -2

The files seem to be there in the firmware directory:

Any thoughts?
