net-auto-wired wont start

Trying to enable and start net-auto-wired but systemctl says:

What might I be doing wrong?

Re: net-auto-wired wont start

Try using netctl which replaces netcfg. Maybe that might help.

Re: net-auto-wired wont start

Hm, no, no luck.

I removed netcfg and installed netctl
I copied the ethernet example file to get a fresh conf and edited it with my ip´s

When i run netctl start ethernet-static i get following error:
-- Unit netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service has begun starting up.
network[21793]: Starting network profile 'ethernet-static'...
network[21793]: The interface of network profile 'ethernet-static' is already up
systemd[1]: netctl@ethernet\x2dstatic.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[1]: Failed to start Networking for netctl profile ethernet-static.

Where is ther ethernet-static up? How can it be? or is that not what causes the failure?

Re: net-auto-wired wont start

Hm, not sure what I did last night. Resumed where i stopped but now i get error:
[root@u36402 rules.d]# systemctl status net-auto-wired
net-auto-wired.service
          Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
          Active: failed (Result: resources) since Thu, 2013-04-25 18:51:59 UTC; 8h ago
        Main PID: 20998 (code=exited, status=203/EXEC)

can not enable or start

tried to removed netctl, and thought i would reinstall it but now get the following error:
pacman -S netctl
error: target not found: netctl

I am clueless
Much appreciated if anyone can help

Re: net-auto-wired wont start

after updating, and reinstalling pacman i could get netctl again

when i do systemctl start netctl-ifplugd@eth0.service i get locked out from SSH and i have to reboot
after reboot i do systemctl status netctl-ifplugd@eth0.service
it shows:

Apr 26 04:28:31 u364023 ifplugd[443]: client: Starting network profile 'ethernet-static'...
Apr 26 04:28:31 u364023 ifplugd[443]: client: RTNETLINK answers: File exists
Apr 26 04:28:31 u364023 ifplugd[443]: client: Could not add address '............./24' to interface 'eth0'
Apr 26 04:28:31 u364023 ifplugd[443]: client: Failed to bring the network up for profile 'ethernet-static'
Apr 26 04:28:31 u364023 ifplugd[443]: Program execution failed, return value is 1.

i guess this is because ifconfig already has an ip set up?

after that, there is:
Apr 26 04:29:40 u364023 systemd[1]: Stopping Automatic wired network connection using netctl profiles...
Apr 26 04:29:40 u364023 ifplugd[443]: Executing '/etc/ifplugd/netctl.action eth0 down'.
Apr 26 04:29:40 u364023 ifplugd[443]: Program execution failed, return value is 1.
Apr 26 04:29:40 u364023 ifplugd[443]: Exiting.
Apr 26 04:29:40 u364023 systemd[1]: Stopped Automatic wired network connection using netctl profiles.

guessing this is netctl trying to start up the profile after reboot..

in my rc.conf i have my old settings for eth
i tried to disable the old ip link lines, and rebooted with netctl service active but no ip is being set with ifconfig
