although ifconfig doesn't show anything, if I run iwconfig I get the
following:
[root@eddie-new ~]# iwconfig
enp4s0 no wireless extensions.
wlp0s29f7u4 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=0 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
enp6s0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
[root@eddie-new ~]#
I have tried using system-config-network to add the device but it wasn't
listed. I manually added it, but it didn't give me chance to configure the
WIFI, and the device still doesn't appear in ifconfig
I'm not using NetworkManager
