Dhcpcd waiting for carrier/installing arch on an old hdd via usb
Setting up wpa supp worked well although after using wpacli to scan and show results to enable and save configuration the scan results wouldn't display anything. Using iwlist to scan the interface I found the ssid to configure with cli. Any who, after wpa_supp and wpa_cli both working properly the following step of using dhcpcd interface waits for carrier and then times out.
My assumption is that, being a hdd connected via usb sata cable, that it doesn't have it's own network interface... When I saw p2p-dev-wlp2p I thought that was saying the interface was a peer to peer device?? I'm no expert.. Please and thank you for any insight!

That's complete nonsense.
The wpa_supplicant association probably failed.
Please post your actual I/O (commands you issued and the resulting output) as well as the output of "ip addr" (after you believe you connected to the AP)
Don't allow wpa_supplicant to run in background (this should quickly tell you whether you actually associate with the AP)
