Won't network at startup [SOLVED]

Whenever I reboot the system the state of enp6s0 is set to down and dhcpcd is not running. I must manually start all these processes to connect to the network and this is a pain. Please note I do not yet have Xorg/KDE plasma working.

Please paste the output, in code tags, of: `systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled`

# systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
UNIT FILE              STATE
autovt@.service   enabled
getty@.service     enabled
remote-fs.target   enabled

3 unit files listed

I would like to add that I have tried

systemctl enable dhcpd.service

but it outputs

failed to enable unit: Unit file dhcpcd.service does not exist.

If `pacman -Q dhcpcd` returns error: package 'dhcpcd' was not found,  what packages or groups did you install with pacstrap?

Your enable line contains a typo dhcpcd), your output line removes the typo, did you paraphrase?

Nope, I was an idiot and there was that typo in my command. I corrected that and upon rebooting this has fixed the problem. Typos typos typos. Thanks for spotting that! you saved me a bunch of time!
