wpa_supplicant fails on connecting to 802.1X

I'm having an issue with connecting to my university WiFi. I've followed the wiki page and am using wpa_supplicant to try and use a config profile for connecting.

When running

wpa_supplicant -i wlp1s0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/WIFI.conf

I get the following

wlp1s0: Associated with 00:00:00:00:00:00
WMM AC: Missing IEs
wlp1s0: CTRL-EVENT-SUBNET-STATUS-UPDATE status=0
wlp1s0: Authentication with 00:00:00:00:00:00 timed out

then it hangs and repeats.

ip link shows the interface as up, as does ifconfig

$ ip link
2: wlp1s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000

I've looked for a few hours for a solution to the Missing IEs error and found nothing.

Also to note without the

-D wext

option the same command fails with

Successfully initiated wpa_supplicant
n180211: Could not set interface 'p2p-dev-wlp1s0' UP
n180211: deinit ifname=p2p-dev-wlp1s0 disabled_11b_rates=0
p2p-dev-wlp1s0: Failed to initialize driver interface
P2P: Failed to enable P2P Device interface
wlp1s0: Could not read SSID from driver

Im not sure why it is attempting P2P connection here. So I'm not sure if the -D option is fixing anything.

Try running the wpa_supplicant command with the interface set down:

Looks like the p2p thing is a red herring.
