When I first installed 0.7 and configured the network (loaded relevant drivers and enabled dhcp), the network would start probably every startup. After a several weeks (maybe because of updating arch) the network script (/etc/rc.d/network) fails every single startup. Repeatively trying to run the script manually after that would also fail for like an hour but eventualy succeeds.
Here's the error I find in /var/log/errors.log
Apr 6 02:43:50 localhost dhcpcd[3424]: timed out waiting for a valid DHCP server response
Note that I've tried tons of livecds and all have no problem getting the network running.
This has been very very annoying and I would greatly appretiate help. Imagine having to wait a couple of hours after each restart to get your net access and image rebooting several times day.

if you do:
dhcpc eth0
What does it say then?
Are you sure the live CDs is using the same driver ?

As with the driver, the same driver have been working with arch before. Had no problems with archlinux 0.6 and no problems with the initial 0.7 install.

it's
# dhcpcd eth0
dhcpd starts the dhcp daemon 8)

dhcpcd does start a daemon as well . The difference is a server or a client so:
dhcpd - will start the server daemon
dhcpcd - will start the client daemon
