I have masked the rule to disable predictable names, but eth0 not up

Hi, I have 'ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules' but eth0 still does not come up on startup. I have to 'ifconfig eth0 up' and then 'dhcpcd eth0'. Can someone please help me get eth0 to come up automatically? I had some netctl/systemd settings with a script that would try dhcp first, and then start pinging 169.254.254.1-10 and assign the first one that doesn't get a response, but my script has broken since the upgrade to udev197.

So, fix your script? Things to have at the start of it, for example:

ip link set eth0 up
ip addr flush eth0
