This is normal, the interface is waiting for dhcpcd to obtain an IP lease. |

What does your syslog say now? Is it obtaining an IP lease from your router? |

If this is a new installation you may need some firmware for your wlp3s0, |
| 20 |
before the driver will operate the wireless NIC successfully. Search the wiki |
| 21 |
and Google for your card's firmware if unsure, but typically installing sys- |
| 22 |
kernel/linux-firmware should do it, unless your card is quite new. |
