Here we go again!
Fedora 23 Server, no GUI, running on an Intel NUC which has Intel
Corporation Wireless 3165. The problem is, despite the radio being on
and no obvious complaints, no APs are listed with nmcli d list.

That's not expected. A laptop sees many APs for this same command, but
it's running Workstation so I wonder if there's something Server needs
that it doesn't get by default (other than firmware and wpa_supplicant
which I installed afterward).
Also suspicious:
# journalctl -b | grep iwlwifi

It's a model 3165 but it wants 7265D firmware, which it finds and uses
without complaint. But the Carrier: OFF is curious, not sure what that
means.
Although this is Fedora 23, it is the Fedora 24 kernel and firmware
files being used which could be related. But it's the first time I've
tried to use this wifi.
