Ethernet not connecting (Intel I225-V)

Hi there, first time installing arch (although I used endeavour for a while) and I'm getting this weird issue where my ethernet controller isn't working. It worked fine on endeavour and the driver/kernel module seems to be loading fine but not saying `link is up` like in the archwiki example.

# lspci -v | grep -A15 'Ethernet'
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03)
             Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 87d2
             [...]
             Kernel driver in use: igc
             Kernel modules: igc

# dmesg | grep igc
[    3.218210] igc 0000:05:00.0: PCIe PTM not supported by PCIe bus/controller
[    3.276545] igc 0000:05:00.0 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): PHC added
[    3.300210] igc 0000:05:00.0: 4.000 Gb/s available PCIe bandwidth (5.0 GT/s PCIe x1 link)

Ok really showing how new I am here but I just had to install dhcpcd from the live USB and it works now. I'm thinking of putting that in the installation guide wiki page (unless it's already there and I'm stupid).

No, you're not. You're just in the beginning of learning something new, so don't be too harsh!
