I run the following to add a new connection to Network Manager:
nmcli con add con-name MIDVERCORP ifname wlan0 type wifi ssid "MIDVERCORP"
and when I look at my configured connections, this new connection has been added but the interface/device is not getting set to wlan0.
# nmcli con

What am I missing to get wlan0 interface set for this connection?
EDIT
To further show wifi is enabled:
