[elrepo] kmod-ath10k firmware issues (?) with CentOS 7

[Sean Hancock]

I recently installed a dual boot of the CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD iso alongside an existing Windows 10 Home (V 1511 OS Build 10586.218) installation. I did this from a DVD image. I have been unable to connect to wifi. The wifi adapter is detected. But, upon investigation, I have determined I need a driver.

I downloaded and installed the kmod-ath10k rpm:     $ sudo rpm -Uvh kmod-ath10k-0.0-2.el7.elpro.x86_64.rpm

(I can't use yum install, because I don't have a network interface until I get wifi working)

The kmod-ath 10k installation was successful, however when I restarted, I received the following errors (and the wifi interface is still not detected):

Is there additional firmware required? If so, where do I get it?
