## The problem
There is a bit of a story here. I had both `dhcpcd` and `NetworkManager` running simultaneously. After wasting a good chunk of my time I found that you are not supposed to run both at a given time. 

## The solution
Disable either `dhcpcd` or `NetworkManager` and it should be working again after a reboot.
