eradicated Network Manager. This I don't mind, because under this roof there
is only ethernet. Now I can't figure out what it takes to make systemd start
the network in appropriate runlevels. I created a symlink from
/lib/systemd/system/network.target to
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/network.target, but that didn't
help. Is there some other package needed to make traditional networking auto
start? If not, what is required?
Try 'systemctl enable network.service' . As network.service is really
still the SysV 'network' service, it'll redirect to 'chkconfig network
on'.
systemd's network.target is something different; it's a sort of systemd
built-in. See 'man systemd.special':
network.target
systemd automatically adds dependencies of type After for this target
unit to all SysV init script service units with an LSB header referring
to the $network facility.
i.e. it's used as part of handling the LSB dependency standard stuff,
it's used to ensure services that need networking get started after the
network comes up. It's not a service that actually starts networking.
