1. Did you verify the ISO integrity and checksum after download?
2. We cannot help with a system we know nothing about.

How to provide good information in your posts

When asking questions in the forum, it would be most helpful to all members if you provide some basic information. When you provide info from the terminal, usually from your logs, you have to format it so the content is easy to read. First copy and paste your text/terminal/code into the post Then select the text/code and click the post edit toolbar button </> . Another handy way is to use 3 backticks ` at the start and 3 more at the end of the text like this: ``` Paste text or code here …

QCA9377

That adapter is known for having firmware issues, just look at the forum posts and search for a solution:
https://archived.forum.manjaro.org/search?q=QCA9377

@Thamil

driver: N/A

There isn't even a driver loaded for your wifi card. I'd suggest you first try a different kernel , unless such a new Kernel is absolutely necessary. Maybe start with 4.19.
If you still have you issues afterwards this thread might help you:

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11c Network Card Questions

Hello i'm brazilian user of manjaro and decided to ask the forum because i'm having problems with this network card, the manjaro configuration manager can identify it but apparently it is not enabled, can you help me? Sorry for not specifying correctly. Follows print of the command dmesg | grep ath10k: [Screenshot_20190816_122340] edit: I'm using the kernel 5.2.8-1-MANJARO now.

[Thamil]

Okay mate let me try and i will let you know

[Thamil]

Mate i downgraded my kernel to 4.19 and even lesser but the problem continues

Still the driver status is N/A

Have you tried installing the kvallo firmware from Github. There are countless posts on the forum regarding this adapter. If you use kernel 4.14 or earlier you must use the version 5 firmware. On kernels 4.19 and above you must use version 6 firmware. Some people have luck renaming the version 6 firmware to version 5 (or vice versa).

There are many many different things you can attempt to fix your issue. Most have all been posted numerous times on the forum. Search your adapter model for fixes you can test. Generally you will find modifying your firmware will be the most likely solution.

Post any and all fixes you have attempted. If you want to find a solution, helpers must know exactly which methods you have attempted to correct your issue.

Mate I am new to linux, can you guide me how to install kvallo from Github

I will try those and let you know the progress mate @tbg

If you are having issues following links, then perhaps this excerpt may be of help:

Update firmware

First download the firmware image from the links above. In this example we use firmware-2.bin_10.1.467.2-1 from QCA988X 10.1 directory. Then just copy that file as firmware-2.bin to the ath10k firmware directory:

You will be looking to copy the firmware-6.bin
