In addition, what security protocol are you using? If the access point
is set up for WPA, you need to configure and run the wpa_supplicant
service, which is supposed to do the appropriate key negotiation with
the access point, before the dhcp server gives you info about your IP,
gateway etc.

NetworkManager uses the wpa_supplicant internally and transparently.
The old network service scripts do not. So if you are not using NM, then
you need to configure it manually and enable it via systemctl, so that
it runs as a daemon and steps in when necessary.

man wpa_supplicant
man wpa_supplicant.conf
man wpa_cli

HTH, :-)
