When I first installed Qubes OS, I wasn’t able to get the WiFi working as mentioned here
In the meantime, I was able to use USB tethering, which works well enough. However, I would like to solve my WiFi issue once and for all. So I’m resuming troubleshooting from this point in the thread
Going by the below output, it would seem that I have the required firmware as per this link except that for some reason it wasn’t extracted
[user@sys-net ~]$ ls -l /lib/firmware/ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/

Should I attempt to extract the files?
