    Oh, now THIS is bizarre!
     
    So, I told you I got it working with the reflash. Well, that was temporary. After transferring back to the EMMC, I opened /etc/network/interfaces to configure my network. I uncommented the line "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" and rebooted. wlan0 was gone! I opened interfaces and re-commented that line, then rebooted...and poof! It was back!
     
    I copied the ap6212 firmware over the brcm firmware like @martinayotte suggested, but wlan0 still is gone.
     
    So....I commented out the entire interfaces file except for the lo lines at the end and tried configuring the wireless using nmtui. That worked! 
     
    Bizarro-world. Any idea of what could CAUSE that?

    @DEHN.IO Thank you! Re-flashing to that release worked like a charm! wlan0 is back! I'll save a copy off of those firmware files like you suggest, @martinayotte, just in case I need them later. I'm sure I'll break something else later!

    If you do an apt-get upgrade you loose the wifi, the image called Armbian_5.27.170601_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1 works fine and I have it running on EMMC for 19.8 hours and getting close to 250.000 MQTT calls without problems. I used a cheap serial board called CJMCU CP2102 MICRO USB to UART TTL from aliexpress to connect to the board through PUTTY

    And I'm powering it up with GPIO 4 (5volt) and GPIO 6 (Ground)
