Hello Armin, I found out that it was indeed CONFIG_FHANDEL that was the issue before reading your reply. I managed to locate a thread that had the exact same error and the systemd developer I think it was, said to enable that. I was too tired last night after recompiling and checking that the system did correctly boot to come back online.
It was when I was trying to disable the ifupdown@ that systemctl complained that the unit file was invalid. As I have not tried to disable it again, I do not know if it was a one off or not. It did displayed the command with ifupdown\@ so I have no idea what was going on with it. The network is working correctly with your unit file. Thank you for the reply.
