Description:

This seems to be related to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/39815 , which was apparently fixed almost 6 years ago.

This laptop has worked fine with my DDWRT router/AP (Archer C7) for many years, and it's only after cold booting it after a month or so of no usage that it no longer wants to associate with my AP anymore.

This is not a hardware issue, as it connects to a mobile hotspot just fine (that's how I'm posting this bug)

Additional info:
* package version(s)
(see packages.txt, attached)

* config and/or log files etc.
The timeout lines in question are in journalctl2.log, but I'll copy the most important ones here:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Restart netctl-auto@wlp3s0.service
2. Watch the timeouts roll in
