You may just need firmware to be able to use the device

sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/ath10k
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ /lib/firmware/ath10k/
echo "options ath10k_core skip_otp=Y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf[/code]

Reboot, if it doesn't work, please edit your question to include dmesg | grep ath as a bug report suggests a different firmware file might be needed
