[SOLVED] Created wrong ethernet adapter; not sure how to remove

Running systemctl disable dhcpcd@en01.service resolved the issue. Who knew?

Hello,

During the systemctl enable dhcpcd@adapter.service -- I made a devastating typo. I typed a "0" instead of the letter "o". While I quickly corrected the mistake when I couldn't ping archlinux.org -- Now when I boot the computer it takes about two minutes because the system is trying to start en01.

How does one go about removing this? I dug around in /sys/class for an answer and I also looked at /etc/systemd/network

This is quite embarrassing, and I'm sure the answer is painfully obvious. I wasn't able to find such a screw up in the wiki or a quick search on the forums.

Thank you in advance.

You didn't create an adapter, you just told dhcpcd to use a non-existent one. Just disable it, or delete the symlink in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/

Just do a systemctl disable dhcpcd@en01.service or alternatively remove the symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/dhcpcd@en01.service

Just lol at how simple that was... I've made the edits to the title and first post.

I've worked with Linux professionally for almost two years. Guess I should resign

Thank you guys!
