WiFi Can't Connect after finding Access Points

[Euphoria Angel]

Hi.

Problem: android can scan AP's but wont Connect to them.

Device: Sony Vaio Duo 11

Wireless NIC: Intel Centrino advanced 6235

Android Version installed: Android-x86-4.4-r1 with "System" as read/write

Notes:

• netcfg shows wlan0 and it's up. sometimes it also shows its valid IP on my network too.
  

Things I've done so far:

• Installing iwlwifi firmware from http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi to /system/lib/firmware:
  
• Didn't Solve. Firmwares on Android were identical to the one I downloaded (checked MD5/SHA checksum)
• Checking if this is happening also on other Linux OS'es:
• They work fine.
• Installing Android "system" folder as read only:
• WiFi works fine.

What can I do?

Update:

Seems problem is not related to wifi, but to dhcp failing to get IP address.

I managed to connect to any access point I want (WEP,WPA1,WPA2) if I set static IP. So its definitly DHCP daemon.

Here is my logcat when i turn wifi on and it tries to connect:

It is an old permissions issue with dhcp. Mount system rw and...

In /system/etc/dhcpcd provide execute permissions to dhcpcd-run-hooks for all users, chmod it 666

That should do it

Thanks man. Greatly appreciated.
Isnt this a common issue?
Shouldnt be commited/fixed in upcoming releases?

Try disable the ethernet connection : netcfg eth0 down

And your wifi should be able to connect.

This works for me.
