RE: systemd woes continue

Many thanks to all who have been putting effort into this issue.

I plan to download the lasted build and try booting my AlphaStations again.

Great. Thanks for confirming.

Unless you actively enabled systemd-networkd/systemd-resolveconfd, they
don't become active on their own. And NetworkManager is not related to
systemd.

I do recommend setting up systemd-networkd/systemd-resolveconfd for headless
machines though as it makes network configuration rather painless.
