[SOLVED] Adding ip for networking

So I forgot to add additional networking packages during installation, but I should still able to use internet with static ip?
I tried following

ip address add 192.168.1.2/24 broadcast + dev enp3s0 
ip link set enp3s0 up
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 dev enp3s0

but I'm unable to even ping the router which answers at 192.168.1.1... what do I need to put to the routing tables?
Also keep getting following message in my console... no clue what it means

r8169 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: rtl_rxtx_empty_cond == 0 (loop: 42 delay: 100).

Re: [SOLVED] Adding ip for networking

Or you could just configure systemd-networkd, as you already have it installed.

Re: [SOLVED] Adding ip for networking

Did you remember to install the linux-firmware package? Did the ethernet connection work in the live environment? You should probably tell us which ethernet card you have.

keep getting following message in my console

Have you seen https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107421?

Yes, I believe I installed firmwares. Ethernet wasn't working in live either. The card is on my motherboard Asus Z87-A, which I believe makes it Realtek 8111GR.

That doesn't look good... but I can say the Ethernet was working fine about year ago in previous Arch installation.

Ah thanks... still getting used to systemd

I added /etc/network/20-wired.network with

[Match]
Name=enp3s0

[Network]
DHCP=yes

and started networkd with systemctl start systemd-networkd and it just worked!

Kernel/driver also isn't printing stuff to console at the moment... I guess it might happen randomly during bootup sequence.
