Public bug reported: System is Xubuntu 20.04, built up from Xubuntu-core base.
I have a very simple bridge consisting of one ethernet interface, which I need for bridging to QEMU/KVM vms. It used to work properly on 18.04. The .yaml file is as follows: network: version: 2 renderer: networkd ethernets: enp3s0: dhcp4: no bridges: br0: dhcp4: no dhcp6: no addresses: [ 192.168.1.65/24 ] gateway4: 192.168.1.1 nameservers: addresses: [ 192.168.1.1 ] interfaces: - enp3s0 On logging in immediately after bootup, I see that br0 is UP, but has no IP address assigned to it. syslog contains the item: systemd-networkd[367]: br0: Could not set route: Nexthop has invalid gateway. Network is unreachable If I run "sudo netplan apply", either after logging in or as a @reboot cron job, the bridge then connects with no problem. If I change br0 to dhcp4: yes (and remove addresses, gateway4 and nameservers), br0 connects automatically on bootup. I can tweak dnsmasq on the router so that the machine gets the IP I want every time, but I'd prefer to be able to set a static IP address and have it work.
