iwconfig comes in the package wireless-tools. You may need to
(re)install that.
https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/en/users/documentation/iw.html
The old tool iwconfig, which uses Wireless Extensions interface, is
deprecated and it’s strongly recommended to switch to iw and nl80211.
Paul, you have not mentioned which way you configure network, so it
is unclear why iwconfig is required. As usual, logs may shed some
light on your issue.
This is the output of

I see where it says that the wlp2s0 is DOWN
I'm not having great luck finding a command to bring it up after looking at
man ip
TIA for any help,
Paul
