Connection works, iwconfig doesn't

I am trying to get information about my wlan0 connection from iwconfig. When I run iwconfig I get this:



wlan0     no wireless extensions.


When I run ifconfig I get



wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:4b:8c:b5:bb  
inet addr:10.1.10.165 Bcast:10.1.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:7299987 (7.2 MB) TX bytes:469380 (469.3 KB)


My connection has an IP address, and I'm connected to this machine over ssh, so I know the internet is working. If I run nmcli commands it appears to be normal. Why then does iwconfig not display information about this connection.
