In your captured packets, only 54:27:1e:f6:b8:d3 as source to send out DHCP and ICMP v6 packets, but I don't know if it really sends out, or peer (AP) doesn't reply the packets. > > `nmcli` showed the status below: > > wlp8s0: connecting (getting IP configuration) to MPI Guest > "Realtek RTL8188EE" > wifi (rtl8188ee), 54:27:1E:F6:B8:D3, hw, mtu 1500 As your log, I believe it can connect to "MPI Guest" " wlp8s0: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 6c:f3:7f:10:a4:12 completed" But, somehow it can't yield IP and then disconnect... "device (wlp8s0): state change: ip-config -> failed (reason 'ip-config-unavailable', sys-iface-state: 'managed')" I suggest to set fixed IP address via NM to see if it can work. Ping-Ke
