Hi all,

I've almost got this. My dedicated server appears to be willing to
boot from the disk, but the network doesn't come up.

Here is the service file:

[root at munich ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/network.service
[Unit]
Description=Wireless Static IP Connectivity
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/sbin/ip link set dev net0 up

ExecStart=/sbin/ip addr add 91.205.174.231/27 dev net0

ExecStop=/sbin/ip addr flush dev net0
ExecStop=/sbin/ip link set dev net0 down

WantedBy=multi-user.target
[root at munich ~]#

It is based on the example at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network which I also used for my
home desktop, where it works fine. (Though the latter has only one IP
address not eleven of them.) The system log says that it is timing out:

Job sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device/start timed out.
Timed out waiting for device sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device.
Dependency failed for Wireless Static IP Connectivity.

I tried a few things, changing the service file to:

[root at munich ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/network.service
[Unit]
Description=Wireless Static IP Connectivity
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
BindsTo=sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-net0.device

ExecStop=/sbin/ip addr flush dev net0
ExecStop=/sbin/ip link set dev net0 down

WantedBy=multi-user.target
[root at munich ~]#

No joy. What am I missing?

Thanks!
