a start job is running for sys subsystem-net-devices-wlp2s0.device

Problem: wifi is not working on Asus F200M. This happens now after upgrading arch. The Fn+F2 does not turn off anymore the wi-fi. The led is turn-on. 
During the boot I get the message

a start job is running for sys subsystem-net-devices-wlp2s0.device

This remain for 1.30 minutes.

What card? Driver? Versions? Journal?

Please read How To Ask Questions The Smart Way and include relevant information in your post.

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC.

Re: a start job is running for sys subsystem-net-devices-wlp2s0.device

You could try:

# systemctl mask sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp2s0.device

You may also have to `mask` the PCI address-based unit file as well, check the exact name with:

systemctl --all | grep wlp2s0

EDIT: This is a workaround and presumes that the wireless card is non-functional (broken).

Or do you mean that you want to get your wireless working?

Sorry, it's probably the latter isn't it?

Silly me...

Yes of course, sorry, I just got a bit confused there.

Does the card show up in the output of `ip list` or `lspci`?

Does the connection work if you load up the Arch live ISO image and use:

wifi-menu

It looks like common problem.

Please post the output of `rfkill list` and answer the questions I raised originally.
