Unable to get wireless connection on lenovo thinkpad e540 - intel 7260

Hi all!
I'm experiencing problems with my wireless connection.
It used to work months ago with wifi-menu via terminal but it haved stopped working after a kernel update and i've find time to investigate the problem only now.

At the moment, on Gnome 3.12, i can't access internet wifi with netctl or NetworkManager.

My wifi card seem to be the INTEL 7260 and the driver is iwlwifi

I've also disabled the password and wpa of my router in order to have the easiest access possible, but no way.

Wifi works out of the box on other linux distro live session.

Trying access via wifi-menu and wpa password disabled i get this:

# wifi-menu
Job for netctl@wlp5s0\x2dDigicom_74AE.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wlp5s0\x2dDigicom_74AE.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

Re: Unable to get wireless connection on lenovo thinkpad e540 - intel 7260

I read people are solving WiFi issues by downgrading wpa_supplicant to 2.0, maybe try that...
