Steps to reproduce:
1. create /etc/netctl/eth with IP=dhcp 2. netctl start eth 3. will launch a dhcpcd process 4. change /etc/netctl/eth to IP=static and the needed config (IP address, etc) 5. netctl stop eth Problem: The dhcpcd process from step 3 remains running and it will interfere with the static assignment from step 4 if the profile is started again. Also, systemctl status dhcpcd will report inactive service, because this dhcpcd is launched without systemd control. The only way to get rid of it is to kill it manually. |

You can always copy the profile, modify the copy and switch-to the copy.
