[SOLVED] Wired Internet doesn't Work After Smooth Install with OpenRC and NM

Please don't hate for asking this question here, but this question is not about an Artix install, but rather a Parabola install. I swear that I tried to ask this question in the Parabola community, but it is so small and inactive, so no one replied to me, which is really sad considering it is one of the most well known fully free distributions. In any case, I think my problem is probably very simple and because Parabola and Artix (especially their OpenRC versions) are so similar, asking it here could be mutually beneficial.
So, in the last few days I tried to install parabola for the first time (before that, the only gnu/linux distro I used was Trisquel), and after a few failed attempts, I finally succeeded today. I can boot to parabola without the USB drive, I can enter my user and overall I felt like the installation was really smooth. The only problem is that I can't connect to the internet (ping websites, use pacman and so on...). This is really weird because I followed the installation guide precisely and I enabled newtworokmanager. I can even type:

Code: [Select]
rc-update add NetworkManager default

and get in return:

Code: [Select]
 * rc-update: NetworkManager already installed in runlevel 'default'; skipping

So, I just have no idea what is the problem. If you have some suggestions, it would help me a lot. I really don't want to give up after I got this far.

Check output of
Code: [Select]
ip addr show
If you have something like eth0/enp5s0 the network interface is detected. Did you configure networkmanager in any manner?

Thank you for replying. I didn't modify networkmanager in any way. This is what I got:
Code: [Select]
[michael@libre-x200 ~]$ ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
     inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
          valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
     inet6 ::1/128 scope host
          valid_lft forever preffered_lft forever

It seems your interface is not detected. Check which chip does it use and try to find module for it

Parabola uses a deblobbed kernel correct? Your ethernet probably depends on some proprietary blob then which you don't have.

Thank you all for helping.
I managed to get help from the Parabola assist mailing and the solution was to install udev-init-scripts from the LiveISO and reboot to the install again. This solved the problem.

So, Parabola doesn't have hotplug enabled by default?
