I have a wired e1000e connection to a DSL router.

I removed NetworkManager and added that:

  $ cat /etc/systemd/network/wired.network
  [Match]
  Name=enp0s25

  [Network]
  DHCP=yes

  $ journalctl -b -o short-monotonic -u systemd-networkd.service
  [    1.318123] lon systemd[1]: Started Network Service.
  [    3.073097] lon systemd-networkd[205]: Network '(null)' being
applied to link 'enp0s25'

  [    8.952957] lon systemd-networkd[205]: Link 'enp0s25' configured

Any idea why it takes 4 seconds? Do you have any numbers for your setup?

And there is a "(null)" in the log output.
