[SOLVED] No networks/internet on custom Kernels.

So, I decided to get the "tkg-linux-pds" kernel from "chaotic-aur", because I really needed fsync. When I booted into the kernel, I had no internet, and no way of connecting. (I'm on wired)
Then, I installed "linux-zen", same thing. I can't get internet to work with these kernels. Has anyone else had this issue? How can I fix it?

Re: [SOLVED] No networks/internet on custom Kernels.

A little more troubleshooting info please?

So, I decided to get the "tkg-linux-pds" kernel from "chaotic-aur"?

I cannot find this kernel on the AUR. So, what is it, and what is "chaotic-aur"?
There's no way of knowing what that package did to your system when you installed it.

Re: [SOLVED] No networks/internet on custom Kernels.

What's your network card and driver? If it's a broadcom variant you will want to install the header packages of these kernels as well as broadcom-wl-dkms . If that's not it, post in general more details about your setup, which network manager, journal logs, enabled services

journalctl -b
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print

and post these wrapped in [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

Thank you, V1del. I checked my network card, and it was Realtek. I installed r8168 from the Arch repositories and it works now.
