I already add this service to startup with systemctl enable netcfg,

here's contents of /etc/conf.d/network,

NETWORKS=(eth0 eth1)
WIRED_INTERFACE="eth0"
WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"
AUTO_PROFILES=(eth0 eth1)

And contents of netcfg.service:

[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/netcfg.service 
[Unit]
Description=Netcfg multi-profile daemon
Before=network.target
Wants=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/bin/netcfg-daemon start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/netcfg-daemon stop
KillMode=none

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

journalctl logs of netcfg:

Oct 29 XXXXXX localhost netcfg-daemon[182]: No recorded netcfg state to restore
Oct 29 XXXXXX localhost systemd[1]: netcfg.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Oct 29 XXXXXX localhost systemd[1]: Failed to start Netcfg multi-profile daemon.
Oct 29 XXXXXX localhost systemd[1]: Unit netcfg.service entered failed state

It doesn't work (works randomly?), the output says netcfg failed, but invoke it manually works, why?

  • what is the content of your /etc/conf.d/netcfg, and what does the multi-profile looks like ?

  • What does journalctl show for netcfg and could you paste what netcfg.service contents are?

  • Sorry, did not find anything revealing. If you just want to use ethernet interface, I am wondering why don't you just use dhcpd instead. I have stopped using netcfg even for wireless; wpa_supplicant and dhcpd works fine for me.

netcfg is deprecated. Upgrade to netctl and try again.

  • This question was asked in 2012, when netcfg was not deprecated.

    @EvanTeitelman yes, but it's worth noting for e.g. people coming from Google. Plus, it gets it off the unanswered list.
