[SOLVED] after install no interface with ifconfig

apologies if this has been already answered, can't seem to find it.

Just did a fresh install after 2 years on arch.

When I reboot i get just the lo interface on ifconfig.

ip link show does list the wired & wifi interfaces
and I can do
ip link set wlp3s0 up 
which will then list the wifi under ifconfig

Is there a way to get this set so I don't need to type ip link set after every reboot ?

Thanks,
Mark

Use netcfg or wicd and do the configuration using wlp3s0 as your wlan device.

No.
Open source is about opening the source code complying with this conditions, period. The ability to choose among several packages is just a nice side effect.

thank you, that worked.

should have thought of that,  i had used wifi-menu for install and after first boot "wifi-menu wlp3s0" wouldn't start.
