People,
I have an old netbook that I have just installed F23 i386 XFCE Workstation on that I want to use (as lightly loaded as possible) as a remote webcam. Since I need to be able to reboot it and have the network come back up with wlan0 working, it appears I have to use the old "network" system instead of Network Manager (NM requires a login to activate wlan0?). So I am doing this:
systemctl stop NetworkManager
systemctl disable NetworkManage
systemctl enable network
systemctl start network
but network doesn't start and doing:
systemctl status network
gives lots of lines like this:

Googling finds this problem all over the place - especially with old versions of Fedora - but I can't find a fix for my particular situation. I imagine there is a simple fix but I haven't found it yet . . can someone enlighten me?
Thanks,
Phil.
