Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac4366c-pcie.txt failed with error

Hi,

Lately I've built a new PC with an Asus wireless PCE AC-88 adapter and I couldn't get it active. I've tried to install the firmware using the
steps found in https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2337200 but dmesg | grep brcmfmac returns the following output:

[    5.673478] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac

I've also tried to copying brcmfmac4366c-pcie.bin.ac88u as bcrmfmac4366c-pcie.bin in /lib/firmware/brcm but it returns almost the same
output just different numbers in the brackets (compared by using diff). The file has been downloaded from
https://github.com/Hill-98/phicommk3-fi … .bin.ac88u

Here's the following output from ip link:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    link/ether 8a:49:f1:4b:f3:72 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I don't know what brcmfmac4366c-pcie.txt should contain.
