Hello all, on a fresh install of Endeavour with KDE i have removed the OpenVPN package, however after removing that it seems like no wired connection work. It has only removed this package which seemed to have no dependencies.
What is the default config for Endeavour with network connections? Is there a guide? on Arch Wiki i can find how to setup many different things, however i would like to restore default config for Endeavour and find out what i broke.
Can someone please guide me in the right direction?
Trying to get it up via CLI:
nmcli connection show
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
Wireless 78b83914-a546-46f2-bdb2-cb86f7c9882a wifi wlan0
Wired connection 1 91fa4eae-598e-3766-9b9b-68bbd8f81239 ethernet –
nmcli connection up “Wired connection 1”
Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection (device enp7s0 not available because device has no carrier).
Look in /var/log/pacman.log to verify exactly which packages changed.
Removing networkmanager-openvpn should not affect anything other than OpenVPN support in Network Manager, which means that something else changed.
It did do an kernel update, here is the log file:

So it upgraded network manager, then i saw that the openvpn package was installed, probably it’s default so i removed it.
On how to setup network manager, i see that many reference this config folder:
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d
Which for me is empty and the config file NetworkManager.conf is empty too.
Could you post the output of both:
inxi -Naz
ip a
Yep:

So, this one should work without additional drivers - is it connected?
This one looks like one of those awkward ones that sometimes works with r8168 or with r8169. Given this,
either the r8168 driver doesn’t load correctly with 5.14.9.arch2-1 (so try r8168-dkms), or you don’t need it and should remove it so r8169 from the kernel is used instead.

Correct, the Intel one should work out of the box, always had.(I dual boot and it’s not a hardware issue)
I tried to install this r8168-dkms and now ethernet works on the realtek card. It conects and works correctly.
However the Intel one still refuses to work for some reason, even though the driver seems to load.
Might have spoken to early. Tried to switch the cable between the cards and as long as i boot with the cable inside rtl card, it works. If i switch the cables then it does not start the detection process again and get an ip.
