dhcpcd not enabled in default installation of ALARM

[phireph0x]

I recently had issues with a failed USB flash drive and subsequently reinstalled Arch Linux ARM from scratch, on a brand new flash drive. The default installation wasn't enabling networking and I eventually discovered the issue: dhcpcd wasn't enabled by default, so I had to manually enable it. Once I rebooted, I was able to ping the device and connect via ssh.

Another issue is that system locales weren't being generated automatically. I had to manually generate locales, something I'd never done in the past. This may have been a result of the issue with dhcpcd, but I'm not sure.

systemd-networkd - eth0 profile @ /etc/systemd/networkd/eth0

Also .. which device?

My device is the TonidoPlug v1. And yes, I have the systemd-networkd profile at /etc/systemd/network/eth0.network:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[Match]
Name=eth0

[Network]
DHCP=both
')

Do you have DHCPv6? Perhaps make it just for v4.

It's working now. After I manually enabled dhcpcd, networking comes up and my eth0 interface is assigned an IP via DHCP. I was just observing that this manual intervention wasn't required in previous installations (i.e. networking/dhcpcd worked out of the box), so thought it might be a bug.
