I still cannot wifi with my laptop but I can see that the laptop is sending it's DHCP requests to the network, I can see the request being answered by the server but somehow/somewhere the the response gets lost.
If I try to make a connection through the NetworkManager I see (using tcpdump) the following traffic. Questions about what I see: - What are those "oiu Unknown" things I see? -Are the lines with ethertype Unknown (which all seem to be from foreign (== not mine) MAC addresses) from other AP's in the building? - If so, could they interfere somehow with my dhcp requests? - Why do I see IP6 things while my whole network is IP4?
