No Networking after Arch Linux Update in Container

At the moment I cannot find anything on the arch linux website regarding this problem: When I create a container with Arch Linux as guest, everything works finde until I do a full system upgrade via "pacman -Syu" and reboot when done. Networking is gone then. As the given Arch Linux template is a bit outdated, I guess there's something with the update that disables something important for networking in a container.

I found two workarounds for the moment:

1. dhcpcd eth0 (temporary, not across reboots)
2. Install and enable NetworkManager (permanent, across reboots)

Both solutions do not honor the IP settings of the container.
