Well, then this unit file is kind of broken. What's the problem with
just using -b as we do on the current media. I don't know of any issues
with this. The network target could be reached even if there is no
network, but for the live media I don't see a real problem here. (Or we
use networkmanager, but that seems to do something similar). Either way,
this is still better than just trying to run dhcp on eth0 only.
