[SOLVED] netctl ethernet dhcp doesnt start

netctl doesnt work.
with dhcpcd enp2s0 i got a connection.

root@arch-gammler ~ # cat /etc/netctl/ethernet-dhcp

Description='A basic dhcp ethernet connection'
Interface=enp2s0
Connection=ethernet
IP=dhcp
## for DHCPv6
#IP6=dhcp
## for IPv6 autoconfiguration
#IP6=stateless

root@arch-gammler ~ # netctl start ethernet-dhcp

A dependency job for netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service failed. See 'journalctl -xn' for details.

root@arch-gammler ~ # journalctl -xn     

                                                                                                                                    :(

Re: [SOLVED] netctl ethernet dhcp doesnt start

You probably have some kind of network management service enabled that is expecting eth0.  Considering that you have enp2s0 in your config, you might want to check to make sure that netctl@ethernet-dhcp.service is the only thing that is trying to handle network connectivity.
