802.1x wired problems

Hello.
I'm trying to install arch, but I've been stuck on configuring network for a day already.
The point is: I need to connect to the local university network (wired) to be able to connect to the Internet via PPPoE. The university network has PEAP MSCHAPv2 security and I can't connect to it.
I haven't found anything on the forums I hadn't tried so far, so, maybe you can help me find my mistakes.
Here's what I'm doing:
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel
ap_scan=0
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
identity="username"
password="password"
eapol_flags=0
}

ip link set enp4s0 up
wpa_supplicant -i enp4s0 -B -Dwired -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd enp4s0
pppoe-setup
pppoe-start

Update: I managed to advance a bit further, pppoe-start finally says

. Connected! 

But now I can't seem to get DNS to work, since my provider's server won't send one to me. Apart from that, everything seems to work, so I'll just leave this here so other newbies with the same problem would have less trouble lookng for solution.
