18.06.0 ath10k fails, no 5g wifi

Installing and Using OpenWrt

So far I have tried a Comfast CF-E355AC and a Mikrotik RB962UiGS-5HacT2HnT

The Comfast works no problem on Chaos Calmer after I manually added support for it and compiled with the ath10k driver.
The Mikrotik works no problem on trunk after checking out this commit and compiling with ath10k: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commitdiff;h=978998628fe98f8cfc81910b851e5a3dfd316bac

Well,it looks like no firmware was included.
You need to include ath10k-firmware-qca988x package which includes the firmware

Thanks! Looks like i've found it, its been moved - previously it was under kernel modules -> wireless drivers, and was selected automatically with ath10k.
