Netctl-auto cannot connect after unblocking wifi

Hello,
I'm using netctl as a connection manager. Systemd automatically starts "netctl-auto@wlp1s0" and if I boot system with wifi unblocked (rfkill) it is working fine. But when I boot my system with wifi blocked (from previous session) and after boot I manually unblock it (using rfkill unblock wifi), it doesn't pick up network. And when I try "sudo netctl-auto swtich-to <network_name> it prints out:
WPA association/authentication failed for interface 'wlp1s0'
It also happens when I'm working without connection with blocked wifi (for saving the battery) and then I turn wifi on - it also doesn't pick up a network.
I have to first do:
systemctl restart netctl-auto@wlp1s0
which blocks wifi (when I try rfkill list, I can see that this restart blocked it) and only if I immediately switch wifi on (also using rfkill), it connect as usual.
Does anyone experience same issue? Is it normal behaviour? Thanks

I think you are seeing a manifestation of this bug.
Note that I wrote that report.

HT4623 I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6

I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6. I cannot connect to my wifi after updating to iOS 6. I updated while connected to iTunes. I can no longer connect to the wifi that I had previously used at that location. However, I can connect to all of the other wifi areas I had previously connected to ie. home, coffee shop, etc.
I have tried turning off cellular data.. Other than not being able to connect to my office wifi it appears that iOS 6 is working properly..
Thank you in advance for your assistance

I have the same problem too and I have not been able to "fix" it. It is very frustrating! My other electronics connected to my wifi: pc, ipad, iphone 3G,and TV they all working fine. I went to the Apple store and they say this problem is ralated to my network provider, then when I went to AT&T they say it is Apples problem. Who do you believe?

After ios 5 update cannot connect to home wifi

it worked just before i installed ios 5 and now I cannot connect to my wifi. iphone still connects

Same for me.
I have to reset my comcast modem to get the iphone to submit the password.
Otherwise i just get a message "unable to connect to HOMExxxx"
After I reset the modem then I get the password request.
Password should be retained in the iPhone.
Got the iPhone connected on Sunday night and then Monday morning had to go through the whole routine again.
Comcast password is many characters so this is problematic.

TS3304 I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password??

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I cannot connect to a wifi

I cannot connect to the wifi of the hotel my mbp 2008 even if my ipad and iphones are connected.
Even if the wifi requests a password for the other devices, for my mac it says that it has no security.
Until now i stoped the firewall, empty cache of Safari, reset Safari, I zappped PRAM, restarted the computer, deleted the network, reset it again, unblock the pop ups.
I'm really out of ideas. Can anybody help me?

I have 2 ipod touch 3rd gen. Cannot connect to my wifi. One will connect with neighbor's unsecure network..neither connect with my secured network

I have 2 ipod touch 3rd generation. Cannot connect to my wifi. One will connect on and off to my neighbor's unsecure wifi but neither will connect to my secured wifi. All my wireless computers connect plus my Ipad connects. They did connect at one time but haven't used them for anything but audio books which connect through Itunes on my computer. It shows my secured network name. When I originally connected them it was another rather with other security but since then I have bought new equipment. My Ipad and my printers just automatically connect. I have put in the Ip information plus but still no luck.

Try :
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HT4262 I have two networks one each in two cities. Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location but cannot connect to his wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

I have two networks one each in two cities. Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
Select them and tap the - button below it.
Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
Start with a clean slate.

Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

Internet works, but I have an exclamation mark instead of AirPort connection and cannot connect to my WiFi.. PLEASE HELP!

When you see an exclamation point in the Wi-Fi menu, from the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
Click the Assist me button and select Assistant. Follow the prompts. You may get a warning that Wi-Fi is not available, that you're too far from the base station, or that you're using the wrong password.
Assuming that you've ruled out those possibilities, restart the computer and try again. If there's no change, click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane and authenticate, if necessary. From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Applyand test.
If there's still no connection, and if you have control of the router, compare its settings to Apple's recommendations. Some third-party routers may be incompatible in 802.11b/g/n radio mode. Try setting the mode to 802.11n only.

I suddenly cannot connect to any wifi with my ipad 1. In settings my wifi is turned on. My home connection shows up under Choose a network and has a strong signal.

I suddenly cannot connect to any wifi with my ipad 1. in settings my wifi is turned on. My home connection shows up under Choose a network and has a strong signal. I have reset the Wifi under General. But when I type in my password it still says, "Unable to join the network."

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I cannot connect to any wifi.

I cannot connect to ANY WIFI. It asks for a password for my network and I do not use a password. However, I tried every password I have ever used to no avail. It does not find any other network either, but my laptop finds 4 others locally in my community. It worked before without problems.

Okay, I went through everything you suggested, checked all of my settings. Everything seems to be correct. I tried a WiFi connection again today, and I got the Airport Mode message, but instead of hitting "retry" (and then just giving up), I hit "done" and it worked just fine. So...I'll just ignore that message about Airport Mode and hit done each time.
Thank you for your assistance on this.

- What happens when you try to connect to a network? Messages such as incorrect password? Can not connect?
- Have you tried:
-- Resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-- Resetting network setting on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
-- The troubleshooting here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
-- Restoring your iPod, first from backup and if problem persist restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- Can you see the networks? If not try:
Unable to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with iPhone or iPod touch because there's no address listed for the device
