[SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

I added module r8169 in /etc/modules-load.d/realtek.conf (despite it is loaded automatically without manual adding)
I enabled dhcpcd@eth0.service
I tried to hack upon service file according to https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30235
but it still fails and I have to start it manually.

What info needed?

Re: [SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

Sorry. I didn't read your post well. I thought it was dhcp, but now I found that you are using dhcpcd.

I had trouble using dhcp and finally figured it out. I don't have much of a clue about dhcpcd.

All I had to do was install dhcp package and set it up like this

ip link set eth0 up
dhcpd eth0

Did you try dhcp or dhclient ?

Re: [SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

I just looked a little deeper. r8169 is automatically loaded and everything works fine, but

$lspci |grep net
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)

$lsmod |grep r8
r8169                  56839  0 
mii                     4091  1 r8169

maybe https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … _64/r8168/ needed to properly start.

Re: [SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

dhcp is a dhcp server.

You could try netcfg instead of dhcpcd@eth0 and see if it just works instead of hacking on service files.

Re: [SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

I've been wrestling with this all day, and tried every possible solution to no avail.  I think I found one solution buried somewhere in the dhcpcd bug reports that seems to have helped.

I modified the dhcpcd@.service file to include the parameter "-t 120" in the call to dhcpcd.  It appears it's taking over a minute to get an IP (i'm not sure what the root cause of this is) causing dhcpcd to time out on boot.  Adding "-t 120" to the call increases the timeout to 2 minutes from the default one minute, and seems to have helped me.

Currently I've also added the BindsTo/After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-%i.device to my service file as well, and I've added "tg3.conf" containing "tg3" to "/etc/modules-load.d/", but those alone had no effect until I increased the timeout.  I'm leaving them in place at the moment, because it's working and I don't want to mess with it, but I think they have no effect.

Try increasing the timeout and see if it helps.  Initially I used "-t 0", but that's an infinite timeout period which would cause systemd to wait forever, so once I looked at the logs to see the average time to get an address, I changed the timeout to something larger than that, so it will fail gracefully.

Good luck.

Re: [SOLVED] dhcpcd not working with systemd

Added "-t 120" . Everything is fine now.
