Hello this is related to an issue I am experiencing on Manjaro. I have raised the issue here: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/systemd-networkd-reports-device-as-unmanaged/167912
To restate the content of that post:
My networking configuration file:
# /etc/systemd/network/wired.network
[Match]
Name=en*
[Network]
DHCP=yes
After system boot, I run networkctl and get
IDX LINK TYPE OPERATIONAL SETUP
1 lo looback carrier unmanaged
2 enp2s0 ether off unmanaged
I increased log verbosity to debug and see
enp2s0: Saved new link: ifindex=2, iftype=ETHER(1), kind=n/a
enp2s0: Saved original MTU 1500 (min: 68, max:9194)
enp2s0: Saved permanent hardware address: 00:00:de:ad:be:ef
enp2s0: Saved IPv6 link-local address generation mode: eui64
enp2s0: Flags change: +MULTICAST +BROADCAST
enp2s0: udev initialized link
enp2s0: Found driver: r8169
enp2s0: Link state is up-to-date
enp2s0: State changed: pending -> initialized
enp2s0: Unmanaging interface
enp2s0: State changed: initialized -> unmanaged
Those last two lines are the concerning ones. I don't know why the interface is set to unmanaged. Is there any way to get networkd to print why it's reaching that case?
Thanks,
