[SOLVED] connman - Wifi only obtains link-local address

Hi there,

I'm trying to figure out how to get a proper wifi link using connman. I followed the wiki and set up a connection. However when connecting to my network, "connmanctl state" reports only "ready" and not "online" like it is the case for my wired connection. My "ip a" output after connecting is the following:

1: lo: ...
2: enp9s0: ...
3: wlp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 8c:a9:82:70:5a:10 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 169.254.37.199/16 brd 169.254.255.255 scope global wlp3s0
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

So it seems wlp3s0 only got a link-local address (at least that's what I think it is )

Is this some known problem? Googling didn't bring up any helpful solution. Maybe someone can hint me at the right direction?

I also attached the output of journalctl when connecting:

I figured it out myself. It wasn't an issue with connman but with my router (Fritz Box). Somehow it wasn't able to assign me a correct IP address via DHCP. I removed the MAC address of my laptop from the known devices in the router interface and after that it worked.
