Network Manager has different issues on different networks

So I recently upgraded my laptops software and now no wifi network works.

On my home network it connects however it doesn't have an IPv6 address and I can't connect/ping anything. This is the log

However on my university network (as well as all other networks I've tested) I get no IP and nothing connects at all. This is the log

Thanks in advance for any help.

Stop NetworkManager and attempt to connect manually instead.

Post any error messages in full please.

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

So I tried connecting manually and this is the output I got. I could create a connection however I couldn't connect or ping anything. wpa_supplicant said there is a driver failure but it still connected.

output of sudo wpa_supplicant -D n180211,wext -i wlp3s0 -c/home/zack/wpa_supplicant.confSuccessfully initialized wpa_supplicant:

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

Hi Zack (Just guessing),

That sounds like you didn't give yourself an IP address after you connected:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … IP_address

If you didn't, you should try:

# wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp3s0 -c /home/zack/wpa_supplicant.conf
# dhcpcd wlp3s0

If that also fails, then you should post the result of:

# wpa_supplicant -d -i wlp3s0 -c /home/zack/wpa_supplicant.conf

Make sure you kill any extra instances of wpa_supplicant before you run it again:

# killall wpa_supplicant

I'm a noob, so sorry if I lead you astray. However, I think that might help you.

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

Yea I forgot to assign an IP I never do this manually.

Anyway when I ran dhcpcd it gave this output:

DUID 00:01:00:01:1e:21:ad:08:7c:e9:d3:f7:50:7a
wlp3s0: IAID d3:f7:50:7a
wlp3s0: soliciting a DHCP lease
wlp3s0: soliciting an IPv6 router
wlp3s0: no IPv6 Routers available
timed out
dhcpcd exited

Also the wpa_supplicant -d command output this: http://pastebin.com/Z5vP2ue4

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

I think we need to see the content of ~/wpa_supplicant.conf

How did you create that configuration file?

Have you tried disabling IPv6?

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

There is nothing in the configuration file aside from the wifi login information. I have tried disabling IPv6 before and it hasn't worked.

Re: Network Manager has different issues on different networks

Provide the output of:

# systemctl

Also, try running through the wpa_supplicant process again and then provide the output of:

# journalctl -xe
