"ifconfig" will only show interfaces that are up. "ifconfig -a" will
show you all of them, up or down.
if I run iwconfig I get the
following:
[root@eddie-new ~]# iwconfig
enp4s0 no wireless extensions.
wlp0s29f7u4 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any

Power Management:off
enp6s0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.

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
Try (as root):
ifconfig wlp0s29f7u4 essid <YOUR-ESSID> key s:<YOUR-WIRELESS-PASSWORD>
and see if that gets it to go online.
