DHCP Lease attempt failed on interface

InsidiousMind · 2016-02-11 02:23:00

So, this is not my first time installing arch. I've done it more than I can count on my fingers. Lo and behold, however, my University internet is posing many problems. Now, I've gotten past these problems in the past (On my raspberry pi with arch ARM for example) but it's seemingly impossible on my desktop right now.

I'm using Netctl and WPA_Supplicant to try and connect to my Universty PEAP and MSCHAPV2 connection through wired(ethernet) here are my configs:

dormitory (in /etc/netctl):

Connection=ethernet
Interface=enp3s0
Description="University internet"
IP=dhcp
Auth8021X=yes
Priority=2
WPAConfigFile=/etc/wpa_supplicant/dormitory.conf

and WPA_supplicant (in /etc/wpa_supplicant/dormitory.conf):

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=0
network={
	key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
	eap=PEAP
	pairwise=CCMP TKIP
	phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
	identity="<redacted>"
	password="<redacted>"
	priority=2
}

before I try bringing it up, I have to do a

 ip link set enp3s0 down

because otherwise

 The interface of network profile 'dormitory' is already up

I try

netctl start dormitory

but keep getting errors, namely:

Starting network profile 'dormitory'...

Failed to bring the network up for profile 'dormitory'
netctl@dormitory.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Failed to start Networking for netctl profile dormitory

(excuse any typos, I had to manually type it from the screen)

if i try

# wpa_supplicant -Dwired -ienp3s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/dormitory.conf &
dhcpcd -i enp3s0

I get:

dev: loaded udev
DUID 00:01:00:01:1e:4e:7b:b4:fc:aa:14:c9:1d:f5

enp3s0: soliciting a DHCP lease
enp3s0: no IPv6 routers available

forked to background, child pid 631# enp3s0: CTRL-EVENT-EAP-FAILURE EAP authentication failed

This is pre-chroot. I don't have anything installed. just trying to connect to the internets

On my current arch install on my laptop I resorted to NetworkManager just so it's easier to connect.

If anyone knows a solution, I will give you ultimate thumbs up. I've been searching Google for the last few hours. I think I've googled all that could ever be Googled. I'm absolutely clueless.

UPDATE:
This same config:
https://gist.github.com/InsidiousMind/f … fdc79f8491

Connection=ethernet
Interface=eth0
Description="Ethernet Wired Connection to Pi"
IP=dhcp
Auth8021X=yes
WPAConfigFile=/etc/wpa_supplicant/dormitory.conf

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=0
network={
  key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
  eap=PEAP
  pairwise=CCMP TKIP
  phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
  identity="<redacted>"
  password="<redacted>"
  priority=2
}

on my Pi is definitely working. I have no idea why it would not be working on Desktop Arch.

UPDATE:
The Pi no longer works. It did work, now it does not. Did not change the config.
