Hi Laine,
Thanks for your answer, I was suspecting something similar. Arch can
use almost every backend you want, I don't think it has something like
a default one:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration
I don't see any mention there of either /etc/network/interfaces
(debian/Ubuntu) or /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts (RHEL/Fedora/CentOS).
Although I'm sure someone sufficiently motivated could tack either of
those onto the side, the fact that they would likely have to maintain it
themselves makes it very unlikely to actually happen :-)
If you're willing to create an Arch backend just let me know how I can
help you and I will provide you all the info you need.
Since I don't use Arch, and have other backends that I could justify
working on (to my employer) if I had time (which I don't :-( ), that's
also very unlikely. Usually the way it works is that someone who
actually uses a particular distro creates the backend (based on their
knowledge of the distro they want it to run on, the existing examples,
and answers to questions posted here on the mailing list), then
hopefully also maintains those distro-specific parts as bugs / new
features come up.
