Ethernet problem during installation of Arch. (RTL8111/8168/8411)
I created an USB with the latest Arch Linux 5.12.8-arch1-1 ISO. Everything goes well until I run my first command “ping google.com” to see if my internet is working properly. I got a surprise and my internet apparently doesn’t work right when I boot the USB.
Output of “ping google.com” (i used … for the very long addresses):
From … (…) icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: No routeOutput of “ip link”:
2: enp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000Output of “lspci | grep -i ethernet”:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 0c)I also ran dhcpcd but I got:
enp3s0: dchp_envoption 31.0/2: Operation not supported
forked to backround, child pid 851Also my computer has an ASUS B85-Plus motherboard and it still has Windows on it.
After searching the Arch Linux forum and trying various things to get my internet up and running im still not able to access the internet inside the Arch ISO.

ip a; ip r; lsmod | grep r816it still has Windows on it
3rd link below - "network doesn't work" is one of the more common consequences of a hibernating windows.

You've a lease and a route, but resolve IPv6
Try to add "ipv6.disable=1" to the kernel parameters.

What’s the command for that? I’ve seen that you can set kernel parameters in GRUB but I haven’t installed Arch yet. Sorry for my big lack of Linux knowledge but I guess I got to start somewhere right?

Re: Ethernet problem during installation of Arch. (RTL8111/8168/8411)
I’ve been struggling for the past hour trying to access that systemd-boot you are talking about, how do I enter it so I can add the parameter? Found guides on how to do that but im still in the ISO.

Re: Ethernet problem during installation of Arch. (RTL8111/8168/8411)
Like the links say, you hit either 'Tab' (syslinux),or 'e' (systemd-boot). Doesn't matter whether it is in the ISO or an installed system, it is exactly the same procedure.

If you wanna run systemd-boot don’t you have to type that and hit enter? I apologize but I don’t get the point on how to access that, pressing e would just do “systemd-boote” which makes absolutely no sense. Hope I’m in the right section of the forum and I feel totally embarrassed not knowing anything here so please try to be understanding.

Re: Ethernet problem during installation of Arch. (RTL8111/8168/8411)
You don't have a choice about what the ISO boot manager is. It is either syslinux (I haven't used it for a couple of years), or it may have been changed to systemd-boot. In any event, you aren't changing the name of the boot manager, you are editing the options passed to it on the kernel line.
So, when the menu shows up, scroll to the desired entry, and press either 'Tab' or 'e' and then append the desired parameter.

@n3xus, this is before the iso actually boots.
The boot manager is the very first thing that gets started by the BIOS and it then boots the system.
You cannot impact that from the interactive root shell that allows you to install the system.
