[SOLVED] netcfg net-auto-wired, systemd & ifplugd network fails

Using netcfg-2.8.9-1 and ifplugd-0.28-13 with systemd, I noticed my wired network was failing to start.

Turns out the latest version of ifplugd resides in /usr/bin. Previously it was /usr/sbin which is the path the net-auto-wired.service file uses in netcfg.

Flyspray here: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31369

To solve in the meantime:

# systemctl disable net-auto-wired.service
#cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/net-auto-wired.service /etc/systemd/system
# nano /etc/systemd/system/net-auto-wired.service

Change the path for ifplugd from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin

#systemctl enable net-auto-wired.service

Cheers.
