No. And in the specific case of ath10k, which actually searches for firmware in descending preference order, it is sort of normal to get these annoying logs even if you have the correct firmware package installed. It is being addressed on a future kernel so that such searches can be made silent. > Do you also recommend updating my BIOS? Keep that thing up-to-date, maybe with an one-month delay to let the vendor recall bad updates (they are rare, but it has happened to some), or looking around at forums to see if anyone is complaining of issues before you apply the update. -- Henrique Holschuh
