You need to run "ifconfig -a" to show all interfaces including "down" network hardware, otherwise it defaults to only show up interfaces.

I have a Dell XPS 15 9500 laptop. I've already listed other issues with this laptop running Fedora 33. Here's a new one :(
lspic -k shows the following:
0:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH CNVi WiFi Subsystem: Rivet Networks Device 1651 Kernel modules: iwlwifi
lsmod shows the following:
lsmod | grep iwl iwlwifi 344064 0 cfg80211 954368 1 iwlwifi
So the appropriate wireless driver is loaded, however ifconfig shows the following devices:

Note there is no wireless device listed.
So what do I need to do to get wireless working on this laptop under Fedora?
