Hi,
I USED to able to connect but I cannot anymore.

I do see my card running iw dev and wpa_supplicant should be running.

dmesg | grep iwlwifi do not report any particular error:
Code:

[    2.835606] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control
[    2.835650] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: irq 44 for MSI/MSI-X

ifconfig -a
Code:

iw dev
Code:

phy#0
   Interface wlp3s0
      ifindex 4
      wdev 0x1
      addr 0c:8b:fd:a5:5a:2d
      type managed


I can trigger manually the connection to an unprotected network through:

iw dev wlp3s0 connect NETWORK_NAME

After that iw dev gives me:
Code:

phy#0
   Interface wlp3s0
      ifindex 4
      wdev 0x1
      addr 0c:8b:fd:a5:5a:2d
      ssid D-Link
      type managed
      channel 6 (2437 MHz), width: 20 MHz (no HT), center1: 2437 MHz


and later I tried to activate dhcp on it through

dhcpcd wlp3s0

But it says it wait for the carrier... then we have a timeout and so, no connection.

What I should start to check?[/code]

If you could connect in the past, and can't do that anymore, consider what has been changed.
New kernel?
Big world update?
PC hardware upgrade?
New wifi router?
5 year old sister hanging out with root's terminal?
Broken microwave oven around?

What software controls your wireless interface? Network manager? Wpa_supplicant with hand-made config? /etc/init.d/net.wlp3s0 service? Some cusstom script?

I disabled something like mac82011, apparently.

I restarted from a fresh kernel and reconfigured it from scratch...
