 After I did some manual testing (see next answer), I tried to update /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with my corpwifi config and reconnect via the Networkmanager. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I turned off wifi via the Networkmanager. I created a new wpa_supplicant.conf in /root/ and rand some manual commands:

1. Connect to wifi:
# wpa_supplicant -f /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log -dd -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid -c wpa_supplicant.conf -Dwext -iwlp3s0

2. Get an IP:
# dhclient wlp3s0

After this you should get an IP.

During my tests I fiddled with 'rfkill list all', 'rfkill unblock wifi' and 'ip l set wlp3s0 up' too, but if you get an IP with the above steps, you don't need too.
