[SOLVED] Forced to call dhcpcd at each boot to get wired connection up

Hi,

I've been having quite an odd issue for the last past week and a half or so with my wired connection.
Here is my issue: whenever I boot up after some time (let's say a few hours), NetworkManager can't connect to my wired network (it's worth mentioning that I use a Linksys USB3GIGV1).
Strangely enough, I found a very direct solution, without really knowing why it was working : I invoked dhcpcd.

Here are some logs that might be helpful:

Journalctl, when using the GUI to "force-connect" to the wired network:

Hope it will help,

My bad, I looked it up a few days ago and didn't search again today.
I guess the topic is solved.

Cheers
