Hi Yves, seeing your other emails, it seems that you got it working now? Are there any issues left? From the log file, one thing I see is that it fails to get an IPv6 address using router discovery (SLAAC). Likely your router, does not announce IPv6 routes, so NetworkManager fails activating the connection because it gets no addresses. If you still have issues, try to connect first with IPv6 disabled (or tick the check-box saying something like "proceed on even if IPv6 addresses fail".
This just dawned on me, but should I have dhcpcd running while trying to connect with NetworkManager?
No, if you use NetworkManager, you don't have to start any of these demons yourself. NetworkManager will (depending on the configuration) start them when it needs to. Thomas On Thu, 2014-01-30 at 19:53 -0500, Yves S. Garret wrote:

What you click on, is a GUI front-end, to tell NetworkManger what to do. Probably it's nm-applet (Gnome3 and KDE usually come with different ones). > I go into the top right-hand location and click on the applet and > select my network.

You should check, that the WiFi connection you are trying to connect is properly configured. You can right-click on the icon of nm-applet and do "Edit connections". If you cannot figure out whats wrong, it might be helpful to look at the logfiles and provide more information journalctl -b 0 _SYSTEMD_UNIT=NetworkManager.service > > > What I ultimately want NM to do is give me the ability to connect to > various wireless connections (Library, Home, parents Home, etc.) > without going through the manual setup (as described in the above > link) of making such a connection.
