I'm running Arch Linux. After I reboot, the sshd.service fails to start due to the network not yet being up. I have to manually run:

sudo systemctl restart sshd

Once I do that, the sshd service starts without any errors and it operates correctly. How do I resolve this so that the systemd sshd.service will start automatically as it should?

Here are the logs:

Noteable log entries:

• May 06 15:47:22 server2 kernel: e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx
• May 06 15:47:19 server2 systemd[1]: sshd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
• May 06 15:47:19 server2 systemd[1]: Reached target Network.

It appears that the system is reaching target Network before the actual interface is up. How is this resolved?
