 Bingo! Those were the steps that enable me to see the wireless
network with nmtui ...

 a) sudo rmmod ath10k_pci

 b) cat /proc/modules | grep "ath10k_pci"

 c) sudo modprobe ath10k_pci

 d) sudo ip link:

$ sudo 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
2: enp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc

$

 e) nmtui

 I will retest all the steps when I get a chance to make sure to go
through the steps from a "blank slate", new start
