Hi John

I just booted my espressobin with net-next. It is running Debian, and
i have the following in /etc/network/interfaces

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug wan
iface wan inet dhcp
  pre-up ip link set eth0 up

allow-hotplug lan0
iface lan0 inet static
  pre-up ip link set eth0 up
  address 10.42.42.42
  netmask 255.255.255.0

my wan port got its IP address from DHCP.

lan0 is correctly down, because the machine on the other end is down.

I then manually configured lan1 up and powered on the peer. I then
see:

[  543.113227] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): lan1: link is not ready
[  546.680276] mv88e6085 d0032004.mdio-mii:01 lan1: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - fl
ow control off
[  546.686106] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): lan1: link becomes ready

So for me, everything is working as it should.

I would suggest you manually configure your networking, just to
test. I would suspect systemd is not doing things correctly.
