So problem is with your previous driver and I guess I know why.

To get around this you need to blacklist this driver, first step is to get terminal access like you did before, then login with your account and run this command:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

nano text editor will open, append the following line into it:

blacklist ath10k_pci

To save changes press CTRL + O and CTRL + X to close editor.

Next verify ath10k_pci is not listed in any *.conf files /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, if it is comment out such line, you can use nano editor or cat command to read files.

Then reboot system with reboot

The further we go the worse it is.
If you don't have any data on this Kali installation then simply reinstall it, otherwise you can use terminal access to copy files.
You can also use live USB to attempt fixing or copying old data to another drive if you need to.

What happened is that the driver from GitHub overridden some files used by your previous driver that you installed previously.
The files that were overridden are /lib/firmware/ath10k/hw1.0/board.bin from what I'm sure, there might be other files too.

This caused your old driver to fail during boot.
To avoid this problem, next time in fresh Kali install don't install any other drivers except the one from GitHub.

This is still not guarantee that the driver from GitHub will work though but that's up to you to test.

looks to me like you are missing parts of firmware-atheros which has your WiFi drivers or at least some of them based on your post #8

I listed them below - you can get it through the synaptic package manager or sudo apt install firmware-atheros

/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board-2.bin
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board.bin
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-6.bin
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-sdio-5.bin

as you can see you are missing some

hello guyys , i am using kali linux for more than a year but my wifi is not working ever since the first boot. i tried myself to boot the os from the begining several times. but it does not work .

What is your Linux experience.

Anyone using Kali Linux for more than a year should / would be able to solve a simple problem with their wifi not connecting.

I would choose a Linux distro that is more friendly to the new to Linux user than Kali Linux.

Also since you blacklisted your blacklist ath10k_pci I think you now need to unblacklist it - I believe that is what caused your APCI ID Mismatch error also check to see if the kernel headers are installed I believe by default they are not on Kali I know they are not default on Debian and Kali is based on Debian Testing - you can get that with the synaptic package manager as well just type in linux-headers in the search block and find the headers that match your kernel - some things need the headers to build correctly, once installed the follow my post #29 and reinstall firmware-atheros after that reboot your machine
