[arch-general] Network configuration

[Savyasachee Jha]

I use netctl, 'cause it's lighter than networkmanager and does what I want
it to do quite easily. Only thing I miss is a system tray icon. I tried
using netmon, but I don't like somethign python running all the time in the
background. I use timesyncd with netctl and it works perfectly well.
