I'm new to Gentoo and I have been trying to use wifi. With livecd and minimal install, it works perfectly. However, after installation, I just have ethernet. I've recompiled the kernel for the drivers of the wireless card, but nothing happens.

This is the lspci -k output:

02:00.0 Network controller: Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 31)
    Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
    Kernel driver in use: ath10k_pci

And here is the dmesg | grep ath10k_pci output:

[    0.620754] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: pci irq msi oper_irq_mode 2 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0
[    0.832372] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: Failed to find firmware-N.bin (N between 2 and 6) from ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0: -2
[    0.832375] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not fetch firmware files (-2)
[    0.832377] ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: could not probe fw (-2)

And ther is not wifi device in ip link:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a8:1e:84:6e:d3:6a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0

Thanks for help

    Indeed, this is an off-topic *usage* question. Since you have a working configuration, you should probably try comparing key aspects of setup between that and the non-working one. – Chris Stratton Mar 15 '19 at 16:35

You're probably missing the ath10k_pci driver else I would look at the wifi guide.
