My network card is usb0, is there any method to let systemd workable?

How exactly do you want to use the network card?
- manual configuration: create a service file
- dhcp (enable/start dhcpd@usb0.service with systemctl)
- netcfg: simply create a static or dynamic profile
- other network managers: just configure it.

I use netcfg.
eg.

netcfg g1usb
systemctl enable netcfg
systemctl start netcfg
# now network workable

when I reboot, it can not work.

The content of /etc/network.d/g1usb

CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='A basic dhcp ethernet connection using iproute'
INTERFACE='usb0'
IP='dhcp'

Is it possible to let Arch run 'netcfg -r usb0_network' when I plug in my usb_wireless card on USB0 automatically?

Where are you getting the idea that this should work? You didn't set up /etc/conf.d/netcfg, did you?

Alternatively, you could use netcfg@.service, but as with the above, you need to read about how it works first.

If you only want it when you plug the device in, write a udev rule.

I've done by this method, but sometimes my usb card is not ready, then the boot sequence failed on the network connection.

I think I should change to use this method.
Is the add udev rule method still in

I'm afraid it should replaced by systemd method because I want when network connecting will trigger other systemd scripts enable.
