What I did was this:
nmcli con delete uuid <uuid>
where uuid
of wlo1 was specified. This disabled the wireless network hardware.
The command sudo lshw -class network
outputs:
*-network DISABLED

This shows that network is disabled. How do I enable it?

To turn on your wireless cardsudo iwconfig wlo1
. Or if you have to login again :sudo iwconfig wlo1 essid <your ssid> <your wifi key>

@PaulBensonsudo iwconfig wlo1
outputswlo1 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr=2347 B Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on
which clearly says that wifi is not enabled to scan for any networks to connect to.

If you type commandnmcli device show
does it identify your wifi interface wlo1 (General Device) , MAC No. (HWADDR) and SSID (General Connection)?

I suggest that you re-enable the wireless with the terminal command:
sudo ip link set wlo1 up
You should be all set.
