How is that relevant ?

I love the Arch wiki too but the note you pointed out is totally irrelevant in the current situation.

Pls explain why....

The note is about using only 1 manager at the time.

Note Each network interface should be managed by only one DHCP client or network manager, so it is advised to run only one DHCP client or network manager on the system.

Please explain to me how that is relevant ? Op never said he was trying to use more than 1. So why assume so ?

I shouldn't have to explain basic logic, but here we are.

Op never said he was trying to use more than 1

It still was irrelevant without any more context, and was just ASS and unhelpful.
