I can't see how that would help here. I thought I made it evident in OP that
neither NM nor Wicked are installed, thus can't be responsible for network setup
here. systemd-networkd.socket is all I have explicitly enabled to bring up networking.

I use only systemd-network on Fedora as well, on every systemd distro actually.
Leap is my primary and very most used. Home. :)
