I installed Fedora 32 on an SD card on my MS Surface GO. I can get it

boot up fine (but the surface has a funky UEFI bios) but no Wifi.
Normally dmesg should give some indication of why the wifi fails.
The only leads I can find are:

Which both ask you to install a new firmware, but that would be
overwritten the next time the package is updated...
Have you tried this? Does it work?
It would be useful to find out why your system needs a different board
file.
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174 was
updated more recently than the links, so the update might not break
anything.
You can try the board files from github the same way you would with above
links (and compare them to see if they
really are different).
Is there another method that would work better?
Submit a board file that works to upstream:
