I'm using Arch Linux (as guest) in Virtualbox (on Mac OS X as host) for developing software. I have 2 interfaces: eth0 and eth1, both wired connections. With systemd, I can't use netcfg.service because everytime I try it fails at boot time with message:

Failed to start Netcfg multi-profile daemon.

I tried multi-user profiles netcfg@eth0 and netcfg@eth1 but again both profiles failed individually. For long time since using systemd, I'm using net-auto-wired to bring eth1 up. Then I login to the VM and enable eth0 by issuing:

$ sudo systemctl start netcfg@eth0

and it comes up, gets IP properly. I've searched for this on Google but couldn't find anything. I wrote to the mailing list, still nothing. I've seen other people having the same problem as well trying various hacks for adding new netcfg service files etc...
This task depends upon
