It is installed.  Tried reinstalling anyway, nothing.

But I do find this interesting.

ip addr

4: wwp0s29u1u4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group 
default qlen 1000
    link/ether fe:4f:02:b1:71:62 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I believe this is the card.

Since I don't know how to use "ip" yet, I use ifconfig to put it up and 
then ip addr

4: wwp0s29u1u4: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast 
state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether fe:4f:02:b1:71:62 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fe80::fc4f:2ff:feb1:7162/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Back in the day of Linux where wifi driver hell was a daily part of life, I 
don't remember wifi cards being detected at all with "ifconfig -a" unless 
the driver was working.
