It is unable to obtain an IP through DHCP but more in general it seems unable to receive packets. If I set up an IP address manually I still cannot ping my router. There are no noteworthy messages coming through dmesg though. The laptop uses an AR9462 Wireless Network Adapter and not all WiFi networks fail to work (but my home network fails to connect in a reproducible manner). The following step were used to diagnose the problem: $ uname -a Linux apol1 4.15.0-33-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 15 16:00:05 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop $ echo -e "network={\n ssid=\"HT_B23514\"\n psk=\"xxxxxxxx\"\n}" > /tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf $ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -iwlp1s0 -c/tmp/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext $ iwconfig wlp1s0 wlp1s0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"HT_B23514" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:16:FB:B2:35:14 Bit Rate=60 Mb/s Tx-Power=19 dBm Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Power Management:off Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-33 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:48 Missed beacon:0 $ ifconfig wlp1s0 wlp1s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::be85:56ff:fe8f:45f5 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> ether bc:85:56:8f:45:f5 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 49 bytes 9692 (9.6 KB) RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 68 bytes 15466 (15.4 KB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 $ sudo dhclient -v wlp1s0 Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.3.5 Copyright 2004-2016 Internet Systems Consortium.
