Description of problem: I usually use wired network with my laptop. However wired network is disabled by default, so I enabled the service: systemctl enable network.service But it seems that the start of the service fails on every boot. [[1;31mFAILED[0m] Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking. See 'systemctl status network.service' for details. systemctl status network.service output: network.service - LSB: Bring up/down networking Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/network) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue, 31 Jul 2012 13:39:43 +0200; 24min ago Process: 806 ExecStart=/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/network.service Warning: Journal has been rotated since unit was started.

Can you find any error messages from the network service in the output of "journalctl -a" ? Or in /var/log/messages? Does the service fail again if you run "systemctl restart network.service"?

You have wireless configurations with ONBOOT=yes that it attempts to bring up - they failed.
How can I disable them? I never marked them as ONBOOT or anything!?
Change them to ONBOOT=no?

Furthermore, isn't it strange that these wifi networks have ONBOOT= true set, and I haven't done this!?
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
Hmm, there's nothing to fix in systemd here is there?
No, you're right Lennart.
you will have to just change ONBOOT = "yes" to ONBOOT = "no" it is in the configuration file: vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-(name of connection)
(In reply to Maram from comment #11) > you will have to just change ONBOOT = "yes" to ONBOOT = "no" > it is in the configuration file: vi > /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-(name of connection) I confirm this solution for Fedora 20. I trapped into this bug, while installing multiple machines with Vagrant and VirtualBox (provider). # uname -r # 3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64
