<pre>I've been playing with Arch on Linode (a popular VPS provider using Xen for
virtualisation) and have found that systemd-networkd fails to acquire an IP via
DHCP in systemd-214+. Some googling revealed I'm not the only one to encounter
this: <a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1434549">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1434549</a>. `dhcpcd eth0` works
just fine. systemd-networkd gives no useful output, giving nothing after eth0:
gained carrier.
I looked through the commit log for likely candidates and came across
63a070415db09f5b5bcc5c487bfc85dabe443dde "sd-dhcp-client: allways request
broadcast". I confirmed that running `dhcpcd -J eth0` also failed to acquire an
IP (this flag forces the broadcast flag in dhcpcd) and further confirmed that
recompiling systemd with the offending patch reverted fixed things for me. This
patch did see some discussion which featured ideas on alternate behaviour:
