[systemd-devel] help re-configuring bond and ipoib devices/networks

    I'm quite frustrated having spent many hours and little success,
when things were perfectly fine before our backup generator decided not
to kick in and power surges ensued, messing up all kinds of things
stupid electrons.  We have a server that is a bit more important than
the others, runs LDAP and hosts our home directories, and runs the
subnet manager for an Infiniband network.

    The main uplink is a 2x10gbe bond device, and there's a local 1gbe
10-net interface/network, and an Infiniband with IPoIB.  The main issue
is getting the IPoIB working.  The bond and its 2 links work fine after
the machine boots, but whenever I restart systemd-networkd, it becomes
unreachable even though there aren't any problems reported in the system
logs and networkctl reports it's still routable.  The only thing I've
figured to get it reachable again is to reboot the system, so I'd like
to figure out the problem there because that shouldn't be happening.

    The IPoIB is driving me nuts, I read through all of systemd.network
and systemd.netdev docs, and it's somehow become rogue and unmanaged
when it used to be configured.  systemd-networkd keeps telling me about
unknown keys and unknown sections, even though they were all added in
versions previous to the current, which is:

systemd 252 (252.26-1~deb12u2) running on Debian 11 Linux 5.10.0-20-amd64

Below are the configs and messages from systemd.  Hope you can help.
