I don't know how to search messages in the log when it is systemd who is logging things. I would try to get the whole entire log in text, not that of network manager, into a text file, then grep it for dhcp entries. IMHO, that journalctl thing is good when you know under what unit it is going to appear, not when investigating an unknown issue. So get the entire log in text, which surely it can do, then grep it. probably "journalctl |grep -i dhcp". Maybe using "--since" to make it shorter. Try "--since=-1000", seems to be 1000 seconds before now.
and playing with the second laptop I find that running /sbin/dhcpcd <dev> obtains a lease and allows connection.
What do I need to do to make sure that dhcpcd runs when required. I would think that it would be a service initiated by the need for an address???
/sbin/dhcpcd is provided by dhcpcd. /sbin/dhclient is provided by dhcp-client. Thus, uninstall dhcp-client. Otherwise, grep all networkmanager configs to find out where the daemon is selected. I repeat, force the system to use the one that works, either by configuration of by removing THE OTHER. Whatever the "other" is. I have been saying this for days... >:-) And if you go on a trip, make sure you have both rpms in a directory, for re-installation if whichever one you select doesn't work at the place you are that moment. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
