I did a base install last night on a machine with only a wired connection - using the arch iso from 2013-01-04 - the install seemed to go fine and I had a network connection using dhcp during the install and once chrooted into /mnt everything seemed fine. At that stage I set up a wired "static ip" connection (following the beginners guide) using ifplugd - but the service does not start from within the chroot during the install - but when I rebooted at the completion of the install I have no network connection and I cannot see any network device (was eth0 during the install) - is it possible this may be due to the systemd-197 package that was installed with the interface naming changed? It seems that the ifconfig command is not available once rebooted into the install and I don't know how to proceed. Can anyone give my any advice on how to get the network up on the newly installed system? I could not find anyone who had the same problem in the forums or searching on the net. Thanks in advance. -- mike c
