Arch: WAN interface does not go up automatically

[stasheck]

I've got a minor issue with my Arch install: if the WAN interface is down when booting, it will not go "up" even after something is connected to it (so after apartment power loss, if B3 boots before cable modem, it will not go online). I've run out of ideas where to look for the reason of this behavior... Can someone point me into right direction?

Hi stasheck,

if you are using the arch live-USB (v1.2) it is configured to use systemd-networkd on eth0. If you are only concerned about a race condition on a forced power-cycle, and willing to wait for eth0 to come up, you could use:

Code: Select all

[root@archb3 ~]# systemctl enable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

See this post for further discussion.
