Hello sometimes Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 doesnt work in manjaro, or works and the device becomes unavailable after a while.
You can always do this
i installed linux-firmware-20181026.1cb4e51-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
and if i reboot a few times my wireless device is not ready.

Specs: Acer Aspire a315-41g, kernel 42.0/5.0
On gentoo a few days back i didnt have an issue with the latest firmware and kernels 4.20.
i found this in dmesg:

Firstly let me state there have been no end to issues with this adapter lately. You could have many different causes for your problem.
The first thing I would try is, anytime you boot up and Wi-Fi is not working put the computer into suspend. If your Wi-Fi is working after resuming then this is likely a kernel issue.
Unfortunately, testing older kernels with this adapter is complicated by firmware incompatibilities. The older kernels do not work with the newest firmware, so to test older kernels you must rename the newest firmware in /lib/firmware. I would also test out kernel 5 for improvements.
There is also a possibility your manufacturers wmi modules are causing problems from some of your errors. I would need to see a full "lsmod" output to identify any potentially problematic modules. Please post lsmod outputs from when the adapter is properly initialized and when it is not working.
It is also possible that your regulatory domain not being set properly is causing issues. Search "set regdom" for instructions on how to do this.
There is also a Redhat bug report from 5 days ago with very similar symptoms to your issue. The bug report suggests the most recent firmware version can solve the adapter being undetected issue.
Firmware source:
The bug report also suggests setting the regdom as I mentioned earlier.
There are many possibilities to investigate here as it could be any of numerous things causing this. Sorry to say, but this could be a lengthy process to fix this, depending on how good your troubleshooting skills are.

but no change in atheros is there a driver parameter to se this correctlyn in ath10k?

if i try to suspend when the ath10k doesnt work laptop freezes on a black screen.
after playing around with ath10 firmware i realised that 5.0 kernel loads firmware -5.bin instead of firmware-6.bin, why is this happening? Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 supports firmware-6 on kernels 4.18+
i deleted firmware-5.bin from /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/ and renamed firmware-6.bin to firmware-5.bin to force load it and wireless seems to work perfectly fine. however this is just a dirty hack sth is wrong with the default manjaro configuration and modern kernels insist on loading firmware-5.bin for Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377.Please manjaro team fix this!!!
force loading firmware6 with kernel 5.0 didnt cut it, i ll test kernel 4.20 for a while and post back
finally fixed it!!!!
Regardless of kernel or firmware i added in grub:
ipv6.disable=1
also added in a file ath10k.conf
options ath10k_core skip_otp=y
like you suggested in previous posts and it helped a lot more,but what does this option do really?
most of the problems with this adapter happen at startup,i disabled fast boot(works only with secure boot anyway) in my bios and will see if it helps some more.
ok after a couple of days of painful debugging i managed to completely resolve the issue,solution should work on all problematic acer laptops with atheros wireless chipsets.
OK if you have wireless problems first check your dmesg for errors like these:

if you get similar errors to mine then add in grub the parameter:
pcie_aspm=off
update grub and reboot now, the errors should be gone and your wireless will work reliably after every reboot.
This parameter disables pcie power saving,ath10k chipsets are of the pcie type and for some reason possibly because of a hardware or a firmware bug they dont work right with pcie power management enabled,at least for now.With this solution you dont have to disable ipv6 or use any other driver options.
Edit: i also checked the impact this parameter has on battery power saving and i only lost 8 minutes (estimated) so no big deal

How did you find out it was loading 5 instead of 6?
Same wireless adapter - I find using one dns server and ignoring all ipv6 is the only thing that consistently sticks, and haven't had issues with running 5.0 kernel since with a noticeable improvement in network performance
pcie_aspm=off solves everything

Have you been able to narrow down if pcie_aspm=off is all that's required or if it should also be combined with ath10k.conf edit and ipv6.disable=1 as well?
Because I've added pcie_aspm=off but on its own it does not seem to solve the issue? I still get unsupported HTC service id: 1536 as well as WiFi dropping out...
That's a different error there on your part, my solution works only if you get the "BadTLP" errors at dmesg
