Description:
After upgrading core/linux-firmware from 20190618.acb56f2-1 to 20190628.70e4394-1, the wireless network adapter no longer functions. Downgrading back to 20190618.acb56f2-1 resolves the issue. Changing kernel versions didn't seem to have any effect so I suspect there is a problem with the

* Kernel version: 5.1.16-arch1-1-ARCH

Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade core/linux-firmware from 20190618.acb56f2-1 to 20190628.70e4394-1
2. Try to use the wireless network adapter
3. Downgrade core/linux-firmware back to 20190618.acb56f2-1
4. Try to use the wireless network adapter
