[SOLVED] Wifi-Menu Problems

Okay. I've been trying to get my arch linux installation to connect to wifi automatically when starting i3. I've tried wifi-radar, NetworkManager, before finally trying to return to my manual connection using wifi-menu.

But I cannot get it to work. I am sure I've disabled something along the way that I cannot remember.

After a fresh reboot, I try  sudo wifi-menu and get this:

Scanning for networks...nl80211: Could not set interface 'p2p-dev-wlp3s0' UP
p2p-dev-wlp3s0: Failed to initialize driver interface

"ip link show" gives me:

......
3:wlp3s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DORMANT group defult qlen 1000
    link/ether [key]

Any idea what is wrong?

I thought I had stopped NetworkManager, but I guess I hadn't
