Here is an example from NetworkManager service. $ cat /lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service [Unit] Description=Network Manager After=syslog.target Wants=network.target Before=network.target Every service that would need network access should have Wants=network.target > https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Services#Static_Ethernet_network > would work, and doesn't require an ifup/ifdown script.
