Lenovo Thinkpad 220X WiFi problems

[adust]

Hello all,

I've got a problem with my WiFi at a Lenovo Thinkpad 220X, running Manjaro xfce.
In the menu tray it states it is active and it finds my WLAN but I cannot connect to it.
I tried the following to look what is up (or down) and found out the following:

$ mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 4.6.2-1-MANJARO (linux46)


$ lspci -k | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] (rev 34)

$ inxi -Fx:
Card-2: Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 [Taylor Peak] driver: iwlwifi bus-ID: 03:00.0
IF: wlp3s0 state: down mac: 8c:70:5a:28:9d:b4

$ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
but the device ist still down without any visible reaction.

$ iw dev wlp3s0 link
Not connected.

so I looked up the wich firmware is installed (maybe it's good to know, even though most of the output is already shown above..):

$ dmesg | grep firmware
[ 3.090937] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: loaded firmware version 18.168.6.1 op_mode iwldvm

I tried following this guide, but it did not really help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_network_configuration#Check_the_driver_status

Does someone has a clue? Several reboots of the system didn't help either.
Thanks so far for taking time.

Users can maintain and manage wireless and wired interfaces using Wicd
Wicd is another advanced alternative to NetworkManager Applet , it is available in
official repository ( sudo pacman -S wicd )

More intel and installation guide can be obtained on: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wicd

Maybe you just have wifi turned off?

Do you have any phisical buttons to control wifi/bluetooth activity?

If not, what does rfkill list tell you?

I had no time to check your replies yesterday so I turned on my Laptop today and it just worked.
I tried restarting it about 5-8 times the last time but okay.

Thank you very much for your help, I'm sorry for dealing you trouble.

@ApolloWhite: Nevertheless I will check this tool out, sounds promising. Thank you.
