Re: [arch-general] tap device

systemd-networkd is still really new. If you're having difficulty with it, I recommend simply using netctl, which is a bit more mature.

I do for part of the setup on host. I am trying to do zero network config on container, thus the use of networkd. But I can use netctl inside the container, you are right As far the rest, I'm afraid I don't know. Before any

manual configuration, did you see any network interfaces in the container? I'm losing track of what you've created and what systemd creates for you when you spawn the container. (I think you're using systemd-nspawn, right?)

yes
