[SOLVED] Wireless automatically disconnects after connection...
I was tweaking my routing settings using
ip routewhile troubleshooting my openvpn setup and somehow broke my WiFi configuration.
All netctl commands give the following error:
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlp3s0 error: No such file or directory
Profile 'profile name' does not exist or is not available Network Manager also fails.
I tried running wpa_supplicant but it does not seem to be working either.
The following occurs when connecting:
[ 4894.251226] wlp3s0: authenticate with 00:25:9c:d8:d7:91
[ 4894.254573] wlp3s0: send auth to 00:25:9c:d8:d7:91 (try 1/3)

[ 4896.002943] wlp3s0: failed to remove key (2, ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) from hardware (-22) This occurs across multiple networks.
SOLVED:
The issue seems to have been bad systemd calls in /etc/netctl/hooks which caused the underlying netctl-auto service to auto-disconnect. I'm now able to connect over wifi.

^ This is useless, please provide (much) more information — we need to know the *exact* command(s) used and the full content of any error messages returned.

The output of this command would probably also be useful:

Sure.
I'm not running NetworkManager, wicd, connman, dhcpcd, or anything else. I use netctl, netctl-auto, and ifplugd.

Something has happened that seems to cause spontaneous, immediate deauth.
It occurred after issuing various ip route commands, including commands to replace the default, yesterday, regarding my other topic on openvpn. I also would have manually brought up and down the tun0 interface using ip link. Looking at my history I never issued an ip link set command to my wireless interface until the problem had already manifested.

Looks like that worked, did you check `iwconfig` to see if the interface had associated with the access point?
EDIT: sorry, the error messages already posted are from that command aren't they?
How did you create the configuration file?
What is your hardware?

wpa_supplicant followed by wpa_cli doesn't turn up anything when I scan (scan_results is blank). I set it up according to the wiki instructions.

Re: [SOLVED] Wireless automatically disconnects after connection...
Looks like the issue was that I had the old systemd unit file, openvpn@client.service, instead of the newer, openvpn-client@.service, being called by my /etc/netctl/hooks directory. Since there was no config in /etc/openvpn, having been moved to /etc/openvpn/client, the service would fail, and then netctl-auto would disconnect. I'm not entirely sure why the issue only manifested in the past week. Or why an issue also came up in NetworkManager (which I briefly switched over to for testing), or why wpa_supplicant doesn't seem to work, or why there still seems to be a problem with netctl-ifplugd...
