Network errors plus boot errors

I'm in the process of switching over to arch. I've had successful installations on a Thinkpad t420 and my desktop so far.

I'm now trying to install on a Thinkpad t440p and running into an increasing amount of problems. Can anyone help?

It initially started when I couldn't get a network connection. Here's what I did:

$ ping archlinux.org
ping: archlinux.org: Temporary failure in name resolution
$ ping 8.8.8.8
ping: connect: Network is unreachable

dhcpd hangs on startup and there were some errors, so I did this and got a slew of stuff:

$ dmesg --level=err,warn

Re: Network errors plus boot errors

Please use [ code ]  tags instead of bolding for posting output. there's nothing particularly worrisome in any of these outputs. How did you try to connect? What dhcpcd errors did you see?
