[SOLVED]DHCP times out/p2p-dev confusing wpa_supplicant

I have used an alias to start wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd for a long time because I only use it at my house.  So right not I'm in Wisconsin at a relatives house and wanted to do some Linux bidness because it makes me happy.  Right now I have done a few thing and I'm somewhat stuck.  I started by clearing the network ssid and psk from the wpa conf file.  I set my device up and ran wpa_cli and set the new name and password.

Here is where the tricky part for me was, wpa_cli was initializing as p2p-dev-device I stead of just device and I had to explicitly run wpa_cli with the -i device flag to get the cli to scan and actually get results.  But, moving forward I had gotten supplicant configured and running and the. When I run dhcpcd it always times out.  I have used the -dd flag when running supplicant and noticed there are lines that have the p2p-dev prefix which I'm very certain is causing a problem or two.

I'm a dummy.
I misspelled a word.
Anywho for any others who have a wpa_cli issue due to p2p-dev --

1. Set device up
2. Configure wpa_cli using -i device
3. Run dhcpcd

Test with ping -c 3 www.google.com

Marking as solved.
