Followed the below steps to configure, however not receiving IPv4 IP address
from the router. Please suggest.

Steps:
=====
•       Installed iw and wpa_supplicant packages.
•       Verified the presence of the card
sles15sp0:linux_test>dmesg | grep 9260
[   74.125592] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC
9260, REV=0x324
•       Verified SLES image rev
sles15sp0:linux_test>uname -a

Not connected.

•       Scanned for available wifi access points and verified that security

•       Created a WPA configuration file

sles15sp0:linux_test>wpa_passphrase NETGEAR48 smoothgiant416 > wpa.conf
sles15sp0:linux_test>cat wpa.conf
network={
        ssid="NETGEAR48"

}

•       Looked up the drivers present in the system and ran wpa_supplicant
sles15sp0:linux_test>lsmod | grep -e Used -e iwl

•       Checking if the association between Wifi AP ( our lab router ) and
wlan0 (wifi interface) is in place.

•       Try to obtain a DHCP IP from router.
•       This is where the problem lies, even if we are associated with the
access point we are not getting an IP(IPV4)  back from router
