[SOLVED] A6100 AC600 WPA Issues, Unable to Connect

Xlaits · 2017-06-03 02:34:59

I have a fresh install of ArchLinux here, and I'm having NO luck with my wireless card. It worked in my previous install, but now it refuses to connect, even after installing the appropriate drivers. I don't have IPv6 on my router, so I disabled my Archs' ability to use ipv6. It wasn't working before I did that, so I thought doing thst would work.

My AP is using WPA2-PSK, and wifi-menu detects the wpa2 requirement, and sets things accordingly. I get "WPA association/authentication failed for interface wlp0s19f2u3"
And "Failed to bring the network up for profile <profile_name>"

I've been tethering it to my phone for now, but I need tp get thst working.

Don't use any network manager until you have successfully connected manually.

Paste the output of: `systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled`

Paste the output of: `systemctl list-unit-files --state enabled`

UNIT FILE               STATE  
autovt@.service         enabled
display-manager.service enabled
getty@.service          enabled
slim.service            enabled
remote-fs.target        enabled

5 unit files listed.

Edit: Okay, so I've been trying to connect manually, using the Wireless Network Configuration page, and the WPA Supplicant page.

I can GET wpa_supplicant to run without error, however, it is still not linking to the AP.

EDIT:

Thought you guys might want my dmesg -w output, so here it is. All this happens right input wifi-menu and select my AP.
