== Intro
networkd is a small and lean service to configure network interfaces, designed mostly for server use cases in a world with hotplugged and virtualized networking. Its configuration is similar in spirit and abstraction level to ifupdown, but you don't need any extra packages to configure bridges, bonds, vlan etc. It is not very suitable for managing WLANs yet; NetworkManager is still much more appropriate for such Desktop use cases.
== Install systemd-networkd
=== deinstall classic networking and install it!
* *sudo su* # if not already done
*deinstall*
