[SOLVED] systemd no eth0 (standard archinit works fine)

Hi Guys,

Tried again to move to systemd, everything boots ok but I have no eth0

lspci shows it can see the Ethernet controller but /dev/net/ only contains tun

If I remove the init line for systemd from grub and then reboot using the standard archinit eth0 is available and works.

I have followed the arch wiki for systemd, I don't get it?

Do I need to reinstall any packages?

Any ideas/advice much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help.

*UPDATE*
It's now working. Basically I tried to setup a static ethernet ip using the details here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … et_network and this left the system without eth0

To get it working, I removed the network.service I had created using the directions above and instead installed netcfg and then followed the wiki advice here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … md_support

Hope this helps someone else who runs into a similar issue.

Just realised why the the instructions here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … et_network didn't work for me.

Problem was, I was a total idiot and forgot to 'systemctl enable network.service' after I had created it and put it in /etc/systemd/system/

Sorry for wasting anyones time on this.

I'll go and hide in shame now!

lack of replies indicates no-ones time was wasted, and learning more about your system is never a bad thing.
