This is more FYI, I haven't had time to properly debug it. Booting 5.2 causes systemd-networkd to fail to bring any interface up, it will fail with: "Could not bring up interface: Invalid argument" However, booting 5.1.16 with the same software works just fine. Sounds like something was changed in, what I assume is, the netlink API
