Hi community,
I'm new to Arch Linux, so I've a couple of questions, because my system isn't running flawless at the moment.
Problem 1: networking doesnt work automaticly if the cable isn't plugged in while booting, also it's plugged in after start up.
When I plug the cable while start up networking works fine. If i remove it afterwerds and replug it it still works.
Anybody knows what I've got to change, so it works automaticly even if i have no networkcable plugged while start up?
Problem 2: While booting, it's a pretty long time while loading the network. It says busy all the time.
It's a long time, no matter the networkcable is plugged or not.
Big THX for any help.

Welcome to arch!
For future reference, the wiki has almost all the answers you'll need.
Problem 1: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network#Ifplugd I don't have personal experience with it, but Ifplugd should do what you want
Problem 2: if you send the network daemon to the background by putting an "@" symbol in front of it in /etc/rc.conf it won't slow down your boot, again check the wiki if you have any questions
