[Solved] Unable to connect to wireless network, but can see it.

Hi,

I hope someone can help me figure this out. I'm attempting to install Arch on a new computer and having trouble setting up the wireless.

Running "lspci -k" I see that I have an Intel network controller which uses the iwlwifi driver.

"dmesg | grep iwlwifi"

contains the line "loaded firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532 op_mode iwldvm", so it looks like the driver is working properly.

When I run "wifi-menu" I can see my university's networks. I then select one and am prompted to save the generated profile. Upon doing so I receive a "CONNECTING FAILED" error.

I'm not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: The problem was with my university wifi not recognizing my MAC address. It's solved now.
