            Bug ID: 87376
           Summary: networkd - doesn't offer an access to its
                    configuration process
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brankob at s5tehnika.net
        QA Contact: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

So, when something goes wrong, all I can do is restart the service, which
mostly does nothing. And all that is left, is reboot.

If for some reason dhcp or some other component didn't do its job, I need to
know it and have some mean of repairing it, like restarting the dhclient util.

Same goes for static routes. 

Say my card doesn't have a driver, so system can't see it. Or that I have had
wrong MAC for it in the config.

When networkd doest it thing, I end up with inactive network. And I can't make
networkd rescan the card and reconfigure it.

It's one-shot system, without any redundance. If it fails, it's doomed.

It would be nice to have some configureation setting for periodic rescanning
failed interfaces etc.
