Chromebook 14 NetworkManager Spinning

I've got everything up and running on my HP Chromebook 14 with XFCE. The network is fine (haven't tested the T-Mobile connection yet) but the NetworkManager icon keeps spinning even though the WiFi is connected.

Any idea how to get it to stop or at least track down what it's trying to connect to?

Same problem here, but on a Thinkpad. It doesn't seem to happen every time, but it does happen often. In addition to spinning forever, it will tell me that it's waiting for an address, even though it already has one and networking is working.

Re: Chromebook 14 NetworkManager Spinning

I figured it out on my end. Maybe this will help you.

systemctl stop dhcpcd
systemctl disable dhcpcd

NetworkManager conflicts with dhcpcd.
